Don't know if any of you heard about this, was (might still be) real bad. Thousands of fish of all kinds and nobody seems to know what caused it... Personally, I feel that with all the rain we've been getting here in northern IL, somebody had a tank of caustic material that overflowed spilling into the Rock. For awhile a train derailment carrying ethonal was blamed, but no fish/wildlife was affected in that area.

Here's a link to what ppl were saying; http://www.idofishing.com/forum/showflat.php/Number/796540/fpart/1/rock-river-fish-kill

So did they ever find out what was the real cause of all the fish kill in Rock River?  There is a small pond in my area(Michigan City,Indiana) that the fish was dying too. And the weeds was growing so fast. I've notice that the World has changed alot from years ago. Climate changes, Earthquakes, Valcanoes, faults,etc...  Most people don't know that there's a fault that runs from Lake Michigan down to the Mississippi River. I also keep and eye on the Valcanoes in Alaska because I have a brother that lives across the Bay from them. The Valcanoes have been shotting off for months. Then there's wild fires and Earthquakes in Calf. My point is that all this makes a change in the water temp for the fish to live in. So,I was wondering if they found out the cause of the fish kill? Man made or Natural? I did watch the video and read the news you posted. Thanks for the heads up on this important information.
