We have a fish farm in Buffalo, TX. We have about 30 ponds which we seine, drain, kill, and refill all the time. We have one hybrid striper grow out pond and have not introduced hybrid stripers to any other pond. Last year we found a hybrid striper in another pond at least 200 yds away. Explain that.
Also, we've killed off fish population s with rotenone and hydrated lime at low water levels, and found that some green sunfish and mudcats seem to survive what seems to be imminent death.
Did the pond go bone dry?...it is very difficult to drain a pond 100%.
This is where my suspicion lays.
