A lot of dead fishes and mystery came to Shore Drive and under the Wellington Bridge, as many large fish were found lying dead in the water, rotting away with the smell wafting through the air.

The Times contacted the Department of Conservation and Recreation on Tuesday and was given six different phone numbers.

Once someone at Fish & Game was reached, we were told they are aware of the problem but wouldn’t give a statement until we contacted their public relations department. When we called them we were sent to voice mail, where we left a message inquiring of the matter. We never got a call back as of our deadline.
