    Tenkiller shad kill

    Was on Tenkiller today, and holy cow! Dead and dying shad everywhere. Zero fish caught. I think they are all full. Even the pelicans and seagulls were full enough they were napping.

    Thanks for the report. Was thinking about going there next week but may look at other options.

    There’s been dead Shad for 2 weeks at grand. Still several today but seems to be getting better.

    Went to Grand last Monday and didn’t notice that many dead Shad. Just a few. I didn’t do much good so they may be full of dead Shad already. lol

    It's been tough fishing. Don't know which end of the lake you fished but the father south you go the more dead shad. Surface temps down lake were around 45-46 degrees yesterday.
