When Tom Mclellan stopped by a park near Long Lake Dam last Wednesday to let his dog run, he saw something unusual in the water: a lot of dead fish, their white bellies turned toward the sky. Mclellan, who worked at Long Lake Dam for 30 years before retiring in 2022, let people at the dam know what he had seen.
Later, he posted a video to Facebook that showed scads of small fish floating belly-up along the shoreline. This mystery is under investigation. We will follow up with what we learn.
