My guess on the fish would be the DNR trying to reseed the river with species considered sport fish. I've seen that up in Michigan. I'll never forget it as a kid going to the river to catch fish and seeing thousands of fish of all species everywhere laying in the water choking to death. I called the DNR and was told they were planting the river with trout. Trout and Salmon are the fish gods in Michigan. If you fish for anything else up there you are not considered a real fisherman. So they killed all the fish for miles up and down the river and tried to make it a trout only stream. It was wasted money and wasted fish. It didn't work. It usually doesn't. It was the wrong kind of stream, to warm and to slow and to murky/dirty but you can't tell the smart people in government that. They know more than the rest of us, just ask them. To this day that stream has mostly chubs, suckers, carp, small sunfish and bluegills, a few bass and very few trout. Not much has changed. Could that be what happened in this case?
