jdmidwest Posted May 26, 2013 Posted May 26, 2013 Good lord, don't you guys on that side of the state have plumbing? E coli levels are almost what they are on the LOZ. But that is a lake and we are talking about a river. How does that happen on a river? http://www.stltoday.com/news/state-and-regional/missouri/e-coli-levels-high-in-sw-mo-waterways/article_e3c0bde9-22ea-566e-b743-af59d8e5df8f.html "Life has become immeasurably better since I have been forced to stop taking it seriously." — Hunter S.

Quillback Posted May 26, 2013 Posted May 26, 2013 Geese are infamous poopers and spreaders of E coli.
Feathers and Fins Posted May 26, 2013 Posted May 26, 2013 Geese are infamous poopers and spreaders of E coli. Point um out I know how to solve that problem! https://www.facebook.com/pages/Beaver-Lake-Arkansas-Fishing-Report/745541178798856
fishinwrench Posted May 26, 2013 Posted May 26, 2013 Geese are infamous poopers and spreaders of E coli. Probably about #18-19 down on the list of problematic poop contributors I'd guess. Convenient scapegoats near waterways though for sure.
Quillback Posted May 26, 2013 Posted May 26, 2013 Probably about #18-19 down on the list of problematic poop contributors I'd guess. Convenient scapegoats near waterways though for sure. Not in the smaller lakes in NW AR, geese are at the top of the list.
Feathers and Fins Posted May 26, 2013 Posted May 26, 2013 Yup and the wonderful POA wont let me help ya with that issue. Sorry I could solve it fast with about 5 friends in the early season. To many city slicker bleeding heart namby pambies in BV though. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Beaver-Lake-Arkansas-Fishing-Report/745541178798856
bfishn Posted May 26, 2013 Posted May 26, 2013 Not in the smaller lakes in NW AR, geese are at the top of the list. Perhaps in the LS basin, but the poorly planned septic systems in ground that was perc tested by an employee of the developer in the cab of his pickup with only a pencil and a pad of test forms are the big problem on the main lakes, where E Coli counts are directly proportional to the lakeside home count. At least most of the original steel tanks have been replaced now, it used to be much worse. I can't dance like I used to.
Wayne SW/MO Posted May 26, 2013 Posted May 26, 2013 We've also had a lot of rain after a long dry spell and I'm sure there was a build up of matter. Then there's the old leaky tanks that bfishin mentioned to add to it. Today's release is tomorrows gift to another fisherman.
