I'm sure some were...but judging by all the large carcasses surrounding the lake, I'd say many more died related to conditions.
Well that's too bad, hopefully we can have a good Winter and the lake can start rebuilding it's population. Any signs that the wipers had a similar die off?
Didn't see any wiper carcasses...and the two we hooked into were doing very well. The smallies are doing fine as well. We've had a great start to the winter snow pack, just hope it continues and repeats for a few years.

Last year Minersville was as good as any lake I've fished for size and numbers in my life, and I'm no spring chicken. We were even killing it through the ice on jigs both jigging and dead sticking. Hopefully with more water over a few year period it can return to similar greatness.
I know, right! M-ville has been money for many years, especially at ice-off. I guess we will see this next spring how many biggins survived.
