I was on the property adding cover to another pond and remembered to bring a fishign rod along. I tossed a small crankbait in the pond that had the winterkill. I walked around the pond, getting one strike from what I assume was a HSB. The lure felt like it ran into a brick wall, then nothing. There were small fish in the shallows, I think Gams.

But, in the SE corner of the pond, I caught 3 RBT in 8 casts. One probably would have tipped the scale at 3#. IIRC there's only 10-12 RBT left in the pond, so I caught at least 25% of them. (they were returned to the pond)

I think whoever said that some of the fish might have been caught in a low DO zone and didn't make it out was correct.
