Default Smallie kill on Dale Hollow.

Got this off of Doug Markham's facebook page:

Aug 14th.

"TWRA is taking a look at what is killing some of the smallmouth on Dale Hollow. There has not been a huge die off, but some 100 fish or so have been reported to TWRA and the agency has sent samples to the disease lab. in Atlanta to see if a virus is the culprit. I'll keep you posted on this. All the fish reported have been found near the dam--so it may be a a water issue (low dissolved oxygen, too much nitrogen, etc.)."

In reading the comments the number is a great deal higher and is leaning towards an 02 problem. Some fish have been sent to Auburn Univ for testing to determine if there is a virus causing it.
