Oahe report Mobridge

[Kurtr]

During hot weather and fast water temperature increase this stresses the fish, they sufficate... lakes in my area with ciscos go first ,walleyes caught deep brought up to fast won't recover in water temps 70+ degrees, lakes with thermal cline walleye stay below and are inaffected by rising water temps until caught.

Water is 65-68 is what everyone is saying

Have to doubt that caused this on Oahe. It was very cool last week by June standards. Water temp can't be more than 65 down there is it?

Maybe it’s white bass CWD. Were one of you bastards baiting?

Either that or those FKN midgets

Rapid water temp increase doesn't take long for shallow fish to stress they float first,water temps in upper 60's on main lake basin you can bet shallow water along shoreline mid 70's... just a guess,im not there but seen this phenomenon many times in various waters before.

Isn’t it the Columnaris virus that kills them after spawn? Happened a few times in my memory.

Spent the last 4 days down by Langlers. Lots of dead fish. Mainly whit bass but there are a few Walleye and Northern mixed in. Saw temps as high as 74 the last two days.

 

[Rowdie]

How'd you do ?

 

[Ericb]

Caught some decent fish out along the channel. The shore lines didn't produce much. Had issues with the trolling motor so mainly pulled cranks.
