Sounds awful, Rick! Some rain might help? On Saturday, I walked by a ditch I usually never fish... it is drying up. Dead stinking fish scattered around, mostly still in inches-deep water. I found one spot where there were still living fish...bowfin mostly, some gar, a couple bullheads and small carp. I relocated 3 bowfin and a bullhead to an adjacent ditch that had more water in it. But I wasn't prepared to do much more. The fish were swimming out of deeper water and beaching themselves in the shallows near shore...LIKE CORDWOOD...I can only assume they were trying to reach a shady spot? It was a 95 degree day. The fish I rescued felt very warm to the touch. There's over 100 bowfin in these 2 pictures!! Bowfin will bury themselves in mud like lungfish, and survive until rains come.
