Do you have turtles? My dead trout didn't make it a half a day and the turtles had started to tear them apart. If you have turtles I would not think that they would have left your trout alone regardless of whether they were on the bottom or not. But maybe the turtles don't go down into the anaerobic water either. Anyway, keep us posted!
That's why I was a little confused about finding this dead trout. I have LOTS of turtles. Dozens of Painted turtles, and at least two snappers. I also have 50 CC. I am glad I threw in the boat to go check it out, because from shore I was thinking it was a dead CC. Seems like the consensus here is that it most likely died in the last few days, but very strange that nothing took advantage of it. And yes, seems like the turtles would be able to go down into the anaerobic water.
