Onsite Comments

Fisheries Biologist reported there are thousands of dead Fat Head minnows in Crystal Lake. He reported it is a natural kill due to blue/green algae, low D.O. (< 1 mg/l) and spawning stress. Most of the dead minnows are in the shallow areas. There are no dead game fish at this time.
