A TRUE fish tale:
Some of the fish we picked up in Sandpiper were thiiis big.
However, we estimated that we lost over 20,000 smaller fish: gizzard shad, bluegill, redear sunfish, 1st year wiper, largemouth bass, crappie, young catfish, and walleye fingerlings. You see a lot of carp because they are by far the largest fish (this one was 43"), but a thousand fry are the same size by weight as one of these big suckers...

We had a devastating fish kill on Sandpiper this weekend and it is now a total loss; estimated 30,000 fish. Rangers cleaned up only 1/4 of that and the birds got the rest. We have made the decision not to stock the north side ponds this fall and instead put those scheduled fish into healthy, full waters on park such as Coot, Pintail, and Blue Heron. Crews will be out later this week blowing out aerators on Pelican to bring that pond back, but we are still working on solutions for Mallard, Redtail, and Sandpiperto get them back up and running again...

Don't get scared by all of the things falling from the sky on your head, that's rain; and while it is rare for this area, it will occasionally migrate through for a few days.

Time to shake off some of this hot, dry summer; this weekend looks like it will be cooler and wetter.
