1/2 acre pond, very few weeds, Vertex Air 1 Plus aeration, water is 2' low, didn't take temp but it's been a cool summer. I haven't applied any chemicals in 5 weeks. I've only used low doses of Cutrine plus and about 1/4 gallon of Aquashade.
I found 60 of these little guys floating tonight. I think they're LMB. I also found two 5" BG but they were likely C&R mortalities. All other fish are eating well (mix of AM 400, 500, and LM). The water looks good, no unusual weather except it's been a fairly cool summer.
What would cause this? I'll have to check with Dad to see if the beans in the adjacent field were sprayed recently to eliminate pesticides.
I also find it strange that these tasty little critters weren't eaten since they're only about 2 1/2" long.
