Muir Lake partial winterkill
 

Just returned from Muir lake. Saw several dead fish along the shore. Did not catch anything and saw one fish rise. Also, I saw the carcass of a large goldfish up on the shore- I hope these are not being put into the lake. Tough winter.

There were goldfish in there in 2007.

Fished there Friday, 7hours later 19 inch rainbow 20 inch brown black leech, didn’t see any dead fish myself but spoke to one guy reckoned he saw 4 dead fish around the dock area,

Was out on Thursday/Friday as well.

Thursday: 4 bows to 16", 3 on a chironomid.
Friday: one hit pony, nice 18" brown on minnow pattern. No bows.

Saw some dead fish on the east shore.

I was there on Thursday. Only saw 2 dead fish personally which could have been poor handling by previous people etc. Caught a brown and rainbow.

I’ve also witnessed on a few occasions ospreys hitting fish, only for it to be unable to lift it out of the water
