For Immediate Release

Fish Alert !

Eagles are back ! This is a Condition Red Warning !

Post at all Lakes Rivers Ponds Irrigation ditches Fish Farms

This is a warning to all fish. This is not a drill. Eagles are back and are patrolling all places of fish habitat. At this point there have been only a few reports of fish taken but you may expect increased levels of activity as the nesting season draws near. Spawning time is one of our most dangerous times. Remember the eagles know where you live. Be extremely vigilant and refrain from feeding at the water surface until full darkness. Teach your fry the signs of eagles overhead. Swim at least 30-42″ below the surface during daylight hours. If Osprey are known to be in the area increase this depth to 65-75″. This is the minimum safe depth to prevent Talon Acquisition.  Watch for fleeting shadows across the surface of your environment. If you swim in a school try to be the bottom fish. Remember “Look up and Live”. Last years depredation of our populations was significant. Do not be Eagle Food. Be Ever Vigilant! The life you save may be your own.
