fishinglibin Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 I have only seen fish with Sapro on the Bow although I am sure many rivers have fish with it. I was at Macgregor today and was sure I saw a Sapro fish on its last legs, (or fin I guess). Is Sapro in any lake and river. I know some of it is from handling fish too much, so I have have partly answered my question. Can it be passed from fish to fish? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monger Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 Fungus infections often show up as a secondary infection after some stressor, tissue damage and/or bacterial infection. Once the fish's resistance is down/compromised, the fungus can get a foothold. You often see fungus post-spawn, but as the fish regain their health their immune system rises to the occasion to win the battle....sometimes not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
