What lives in this little pond? Let's find out! Cast Netting 1000's of fish

In times of drought many areas of water don't have the right oxygen levels to support the habitat that lives in it..this video shows what you should do. 

Nice video! That guy knows how to throw a net.

Here's an interesting fish story. Back in 2013 I worked in Nevada (enviromental field). Right after Memorial Day Weekend dead carp were showing up in the upper arm of Lake Mead.

Vegas was sending scientists out to collect samples of dead fish. They suspected "carp herpes" as the cause. They had a full investigation going on and were stumped. I already knew what the cause was, seen it before. 

Two small rivers flow into the North Arm of Lake Mead, the Muddy River and the Virgin River. The Muddy River has a small dam at the Overton Wildlife Refuge.

Water from both rivers are used for farm irrigation. The Morman communties have water rights dating back over 100 years. A year earlier I witnessed hundreds of carp just below the Overton Dam dying from lack of water/oxygen! They were piled on top of each other and there was no flow from the dam as water was being diverted to farmers fields or the holding reservoir. Only a few carp died as the river flow resumed shortly after I witnessed the fish struggling. So in 2013 when this made the news I looked up the Virgin River streamflow on USGS. https://waterdata.usgs.gov/nv/nwis/uv/?site_no=09415090&PARAmeter_cd=00065,00060

Sure enough on Memorial Day weekend the river flow stopped for over 24 hours when the temperature was 97F. Carp spawn in the spring and I'm sure they were concentrated in the river, died from lack of oxygen, and then were flushed out to Lake Mead when the river resumed flow. I reported this to my manager who relyed it to the SNWA. Nothing was ever reported to the public. They just said the lake was now safe. The irrigation company killed the fish. They often would take as much water as was flowing at the time.

Good thing the rivers had mostly carp. The Muddy river starts out crystal clear in Moapa and then gets a nasty whiteish gray downstream. There is an endangered minnow in the upper river (Moapa Dace). The Virgin River is beautiful as it flows through Utah, Arizona along I-15 and to Lake Mead. Am sure upper reaches have trout. As it passes Mesquite NV it slows and warms up.

 Thank you for the GREAT contribution to this thread. Happy Memorial Day to you and yours. If you are a fellow veteran or have some in your family, thank you brother. 

@Daddy_Freddie

 Same to you brother! Never served in the armed forces, grew up after Vietnam. My father told me stories on his death bed of his time in Italy, 1944-45. Glad I never experienced war, appreciate those did and especially those who payed the ultimate sacrificed!!!!
