In our case, the lake is completely surrounded by trees so very little natural surface aeration occurs.
It can be something as simple as that.
It's not all about overstocking.

We had a 200+ acre gravel pit turn over a couple years ago due to a DO crash after a huge algal bloom. Low stock for all species.
These things can happen anywhere so keeping an eye out over the warmer months when the weather switches is good practise wherever you are.

Just seen this morning on a social media page of another lake (of which I've never been to yet) announcement whereby it's closed until further notice because of the low levels of oxygen. They now have airers on 24/7 and monitoring by the hour.
What would you do if you noticed critical levels and didn't have a back up in the form of an aerator?! Not install a system in case someone calls you a noddy lake on a forum?!
