We've seen a small number of kills here in the last several weeks. I attribute it to pond turnovers. The top several feet of our pond and small lake thermoclines are in the mid-80s. I haven't measured lower, but I'm guessing that below about 5'-6', the water is in the 60s. Every couple of days we've been getting 2-4 inch thunderstorm rainfalls with really high winds that drop our air temps from the mid-90s to the low-70s in a matter of minutes.
That kind of weather is somewhat normal in NE Texas. I measured my surface temps down to 2 feet and it was 94 degrees. Several rain storms later within a couple weeks it was much cooler(I just did a stick my hand in for 2nd water test) guessing mid 80s. I wondered how this would effect my pond/fish. I did see two dead CNBG, before the rains, but that was it.
