Another Fish Kill?

Anyone that likes to fish the waters of Virginia likely recalls the big fish kill that affected the Shenandoah River last spring.

Hopefully, we will not see a repeat of that this year. As a matter of fact, several friends that are avid fisherman told me that the fishing had been excellent so far this spring.

However, I came across this article that said several fish have been found with, “lesions and spots.…..in the North Fork near Woodstock -- and in the South River below Waynesboro.
” The article did not mention which species of fish were affected.

The Shenandoah River is a great natural resource. It also supplies drinking water to several cities in the Shenandoah Valley. So, keeping it clean is something that is important to everyone in The Valley.

If you’re a big outdoors person or interested in learning more about the river take a look at the website for The Friends of the Shenandoah River, http://www.fosr.org .
