Henderson question

[wetaline]

My neighbor went yesterday and said that the amount of dead fish was unreal (the smell too). They only caught one fish and had to struggle to catch that one. He talked to a guy who usually fishes the sacalait tournament and he wasn't catching either. They were on the west side by the private launches.

Ldwf did testing and found out that the fish kill was from a bad thunderstorm on July 6. Evidently, it "turned over the water" and the low oxygen water was brought to the top. This seems to be confined to the Boulevard and across from the landings. They retested the water and found oxygen levels to be normal. My son was fishing when that storm cam through there and he said that the wind and rain was unreal. Hope it's true, cause the fishing was just turning on really good!!!

I think that's a lot of bs. If they would open the gates at grimet canal and let that good water flow through there, you wouldn't be seeing the huge fish kill that is going on as we speak. Had a friend go today and he said there were dead fish everywhere and they could barely stand the smell.
