jedimaster Posted May 11, 2012 Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 Anyone catch the article? What killed hundreds of Lake Simcoe fish? Something’s fishy in Cook’s Bay and residents along Lake Simcoe want answers. The stench and the flies are your first signs something’s amiss in the southern end of Keswick. Residents, like Bill and Billie Dryden, who live on the bay side of Shirlea Boulevard, want to know why there are hundreds of dead fish floating in the water and bobbing lifeless in their boat slip. They first noticed a few dead fish about two weeks ago, but realized this past weekend there was a bigger fish tale afoot. “We could see about 50 dead ones last Friday and by Sunday there were hundreds of them floating dead in the water,” said Mrs. Dryden. http://www.yorkregion.com/news/article/1352112--what-killed-hundreds-of-fish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
