fishing for a minimum of two years. A newer method of treating lakes with these symptoms is through the use of a relatively new chemical called antimycin. Antimycin is a fungal derivative very similar to the. common antibiotic penicillin. It is highly toxic to some fishes but not to warmblooded animals. Selective application of this chemical will eliminate certain sizes of some fish species while not harming the other fish.
The treatment of Lake Orange will make the third Commission owned lake to be treated in this manner. Both Lake Brittle and Lake Shenandoah were treated with antimycin in 1971 and 1972 respectively. Shortly after treatment, fishing improved dramatically. At Lake Brittle for example, the bluegill harvest increased from 20 pounds per acre in 1971 to 50 pounds per acre in 1973.
