Been fishing Devils Lake by Onoway lately, and starting to get a little grossed out by the fish the girlfriend and I are catching. I’ve noticed that about 1/3 of the fish we’ve caught had some type of sore on them.
Finding sores on a fish is not really that uncommon, but the shear amount of fish I’ve caught from this little lake with some kind of sore on them getting bizarre.
Some sores look like other animals caused them. One little guy was practically oozing blood-slime, and had a chunk hanging out of his gill. The walleye growth was pretty damn nasty.
Thought I’d throw it on the board and get your guys opinions. Do I just have some great luck at catching the ugly beasts or has anybody else noticed this? Any thoughts on the causes?
