Show fish dying in yankee an ee reservoir several hundred pounds of fine fish have died in the yankee reservoir within the last week through a recurrence of what happened there three years ago the raising of the sod from the bottom of the reservoir which apparently patently ly generates a gas that proves fatal to larger fish when it was Alse discovered a few days ago that some of the fish were dying the local gun and rod club under the direction of deputy state fish and nd game commissioner parry seined al a lot of them out to save them but the I 1 loss has been quite heavy whether any of the larger ones still left in there will survive Is a question it Is thou thought glit however that smaller ones including a number of cans of very small ones planted in the creek above the reservoir last week may survive to provide fishing for the future it Is rather unusual so far as can be learned for this trouble to occur more than once though it is the history of many reservoirs that the sod raising once usually the second year proves fatal to fish |
