Probably won't draw as much attention as the muskie, but there seems to be a large scale Channel Cat die off in a few Rivers in my area.
This morning, JimW and I made our way back into the mouth of the Otter River in Port Burwell and were greated with a large number of belly up Cats....some bigguns too!
I called the MNR, they gave me a number for the dept of enviorment, so I called them. I lovely lady took my info, informed me there was a gentlemen in the area and he'd check it out right away.
I'm guessing it's water temp related. I'll let you know if I get a call back.
That seems kinda odd Markus, I guess I always assumed that the channel cats were pretty tough. Perhaps they need a fair bit of oxygen as well?
Too bad to hear about massive die offs thats for sure. I guess after your adventure for Cats on the Red River the local ones just dont catch your attention anymore do they ?
With the exception of the muskies on the St. Lawrence, would you very-frequent fishermen/ladies say you've seen a greater die off of fish this year? It seems like there have been several reports from different areas reporting on mortalities.

Thanks, Dad, for taking me fishing when I was a kid.
There has been a lot of dead floaters around here the last week or so. I'd say I see a dozen or more each day. Man you can even smell them before you see them at times.
I agree wolfe, I have seen many reports from many different areas about die offs this year, the st lawrence muskies, the cats, the carp/drums in BOQ, and a few I can't think of at the moment....
