There Is Some Winter Kill At Bullshead


Recommended Posts

Took a walk to the North end pond of B.H.(fellow fly casters call it ''Golden Pond''...RandyS came up with that one...That is a great name for that pond)...Seems there was some or all winter kill in there (a few ded fish that the Gulls hadn't got to yet) I asked a few people that fished it... if they had even a sniff..."Nope" (bloom tried it as well on sunday)....The water level is down about 18-20 inches compared to the last few springs....Myth 1228 said he seen a trout start flippen out in the Pond a couple days ago...Then died...Must have been a Lack of o2 thing??? Allot of LARGE fish used to winter on that side...

 

Fishing was good today...A couple gooders...bout 22-23 inch males...Ice did not recede that much..Compred to yesterday...Was not at all a spring day out there...When I got there...it was snowing...Raining... sleeting and, The wind was a BLOWIN...Cleared up for a while... then it turned back into Feburary...Here are a few pics of the winter kill...

thanks for the report.read a report/statement somewhere that said part of this winterkill phenonmen is that theo2 in the spring is in such short supply that a quick change to the water [waves/wind] causes the o2 to be so dispersd that the fish are starved of it & die.
