FISH KILL ON THE JAMES

[magicwormman]

My neighbor called me this morning and told me about a fish kill on the James. I informed him that I was taking my Granddaughter and a friend tubing today and I would check it out. We tubed between Cape Fair Marina and point 13 and saw about 20 crappie and a few catfish floating as well. Has anyone else seen this on different parts of the lake?

I fished yesterday from aunts creek up to campers point and saw dozens of white bass and 1 very large paddle fish floating.

With the hot weather and high water temps I would think it would be oxygen depletion related as the cause. Nothing out of the ordinary with high heat. Although it has happened in the past I think the words "fish kill" are used sometimes a little loosely. Just my 2 cents don't want to start arguments
