Yeah, fish kills happen. I’d say they’re part of the cycle that takes from the fish population. With that said, I’d take a gander that this one is exceptional, something like a 100-year flood, or something exceptional like the Freshening.
It’s out of our control but, like what Ty Hibbs says, the one factor we can control is the pressure we put on the fish while they are at their weakest and afterward. I really wish LDWF was more proactive about this. If it were up to me, I would’ve banned harvesting popular game species during and after the blizzard. Just a three to five day “nope, you can’t participate in the equivalent of spotlighting deer”. Mostly because of what we just got done with during 2011-2020.
