Rt 78 detergent spill= fish kill 5/5/16:

I've fished that creek a few times. Not much open water as it mostly runs through private property. Despite its small size(4-8' wide), it holds a surprisingly amount of wild browns and a few native brookies. Normally I'm the doomsayer but given that the upper part of the creek was not affected, the creek will be okay moving forward. Surviving trout will drift downstream (and move up from the Musky & nearby tribs) and fill in the empty niches. A few good spawns and things will be back to normal. Trout are there for a reason and they will return. For now it sucks. Hate seeing dead trout like that

Also, one of our fisheries biologists is been out there the last two days assessing the situation. I imagine for her its especially troubling. I've witnessed winter kills with hundreds of dead bass and sunfish. For an angler, these sort of mass kills are nightmares come true.
