Could otters be a red herring? If otters were able to completely clear rivers then how could they have made it through how ever many eons of evolution both they and the fish have had? Surely there would just be population cycles like you see with other predator / prey relationships. What...

Maybe you need this:p

There's some info in the doc linked below about minimum DO requirements for salmonoids and cyprinids. It's a lengthy document and is a bit inconclusive...

It is but I don't believe the max oxygen that can be dissolved at a given temp changes significantly with 'stuff' dissolved in it. But the 'stuff' can absorb the oxygen

I'm surprised that you measured as low as 5ppm. The dissolved oxygen verses temperature equilibrium chart indicates that the D.O. should be higher at current water temps. It could be pollution making the situation worse of course.

Is this rod still available Roger?

How many consecutive chub would you catch before cutting your losses and switching to chub tackle to make the fight more interesting? I'm on 13 so far this season! I just know that if I do switch then the next fish will be a barbel and I'll end up flipping losing it :(
