Millions Of Fish Die In Northern Illinois And Wisconsin Lakes
Chicago, (INS) — The death of millions of fish in northern Illinois and Wisconsin lakes baffled authorities Friday.
Their bodies, piled several feet deep, line the shores of scores of small lakes. Alarmed residents predicted that fishing in many of the lakes will be ruined.
The plague struck Illinois as far north as Marinette, Wis., and Menominee, Mich., scenes of the annual smelt runs.
Tony Maggio, assistant state director of conservation, said that extraordinary high water had caused thousands of fish to be trapped inland. He explained:
"The whole thing was caused by the unusually long and severe winter, thick ice and alternate rain and snow. The latter brought high water and caused the lakes to overflow. The fish swam into the lowlands and, when the water receded or evaporated, weren't able to get back in the lakes."
