Once that happens it will be impossible to control the tailwater temps with a fish kill on the horizon.
Of course that is worst case but here it is mid July and the rain we have got isn't helping it.  |
Will be interesting to see if the TWRA does what they have done in the past....increase fish limits and decrease the size regs to allow more fish to be harvested. I don't harvest any trout...just don't like to eat them...but a lot do. In my conversations with TWRA biologist and from the releases the Corp has put out a huge fish kill seems eminent on the Caney. There is nothing really to stop it. The rain will certainly help with water...but the problem is "cold water". That was the discussions I had with the TWRA biologist. He informed me they will run out of cold water. I hope it doesn't happen but only time will tell.
