Whaletail Lake - Crappie Kill Off 6 Months, 2 Weeks ago
|
|
|
My dad and I hit the lakes again today, we started at Whaletail (near waconia). I am sad to report that the crappie disease has hit this wonderful little lake. Literally thousands of dead and dying crappie were covering the surface of the lake and its shores. Both black, and white crappies are affected in numbers that are painful to contemplate. We motored around the lake and it looked like a warzone. It may take quite some time for this lake to recover from this.

Not entirely positive at the moment. I do not believe it is VHS, as I did not see any of the red sores on the fish that were floating, however I have no real way of knowing right now. I can say that the only species I saw were crappie (white and black). In fact, the only other 'floater' I saw was a single bluegill and that looked to have been leftovers from a bass/northern hit.
