BRA released a statement that it is/was another golden algae bloom. They think it was caused by the crazy storms out by Lubbock putting a lot of high mineral waters into the lakes(grand bury got it too). They also think it is almost done and only affected the north part of the lakes.
Hate to see it happen but the lake will rebound.

This sounds like chemicals
Fish Kill update: Possum Kingdom Lake and Lake Granbury
The BRA environmental lab has completed evaluation of water samples obtained from Lake Granbury. After reviewing well-collected samples and consulting with Texas Park and Wildlife Department, we’ve determined the cause of the recent fish kill at Lake Granbury is a moderate toxicity golden algae bloom

Then this is UNQUESTIONABLY the latest/warmest golden algae on record here.
Look it up tpwd has said before that once the water warms we are past the threatening time
The facts are the facts, it blooms in cooler water more readily than hot.
Would be very interested in seeing the water temps in the affected areas.

From my dive instructor days I’m assuming there are a couple thermoclines between the surface temp and the temp at the bottom.
In theory both of you could be correct.
(Disclaimer: I have no clue at what depth golden algae can bloom or what causes it to bloom)
Diving after the big fish kill years ago made the hair stand up on my neck, I’d never been down and seen no life what so ever. Very eerie.
