Mother nature has taken care of the Dead Fish situation on Lake Havasu. The Koi Virus has run its course and the Lake is back to normal.

When we have been enjoying the Lake during the past three weeks, we have not seen any Dead Fish. Talking with others who are frequently on the water in other areas of the lake, also report the same clear conditions.

Happy Boating!

ALL INFORMATION DEEMED RELIABLE BUT NOT GUARANTEED

The epidemic of Koi Herpes Virus, KHV, has taken its toll on the Carp population in Lake Havasu. According to a BLM source, the number of fish killed by the virus was in the hundreds of thousands, significantly reducing the carp count in the lake. The KHV affected only the Carp, which is of the Koi species of fish.

Evidence of the epidemic is still seen here and there but nowhere near what it was during the month of June. For the past couple of weeks the number of dead fish seen has diminished to a point of only infrequent sightings.

In my opinion we are back to “normal”. The water level in the lake is high, the weather is warm – it is time to be enjoying the summer in Lake Havasu!
