Three dead fish

yes...the white perch are spawning now on the lake. This is typical of spawning activity. They are very defenseless and just lay there on their sides. Nothing wrong with them.

Apparently this is true but we never saw this until the last, maybe, 10 years. We didn't know what was wrong with them and thought it might be that the fishermen didn't know how to release them except there weren't that many fishermen around so early in the season. So it didn't seem like it could be that. Then somebody told us they were spawning. Every year we see them struggling. I feel so sorry for them, wish I could help them sink.

Catch a few and eat them. There is no shortage of them in the lake.
