This weekend, I hit the river to do some smallmouth fishing. Its a popular area for people to fish for alot of things, including catfish. It happens to be at the confluence point for a canal and a small spring.
At this point, where they run into the river, were approximately 20 dead blue gills. All 'gills, and all about 3-4" long. They were collected all in one spot.
The canal would normally be full of them, and there's always a few where it sort of empties into a pool, before it mingles into the river. The thing is, right now the canal is 100% empty.
There were no other fish. No carp, bass (LM or SM), trouts, eels, etc etc etc. Just small gills.
Call it in, or just write it off as someone throwing away their dead bait, or even someone trying to rescue fish out of the canal and toss them into the river?
