{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Another blowout at Holmes Run?

Paul,

I think you pulled up next to me this afternoon around 2-3 at the parks entrance where the new bridge is. I sent an e-mail to DGIF with the pictures to let them know as well. It was disappointing and heart breaking to see all of those dead fish. I don't know if they will restock it this year becuase of this but i guess we can only wait and see. I will post back on here if they contact me for more info.

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Another blowout at Holmes Run?

I fished - or tried to fish - Holmes Run today, too, at about 2-3pm. Counted 38 dead trout of all sizes between the new bridge at the end of Doris Drive and working upstream to the formerly good hole just above the second stream crossing. Usually can go there and get a First Fish of the Year pretty quickly. Today it seemed the stream was devoid of life. There didn't seem to be any live fish in any of the places where they can often be seen.

When I got back to my car my wading shoes seemed to have a faint gasoline smell. Maybe just the relative newness of the material but seemed more like a clue.

What's the best way to call this die-off to Va DGIF's attention? (Or anyone else that's appropriate).

Paul

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Another blowout at Holmes Run?

There was a large water main break on Columbia Pike a few days ago. Maybe something washed in with the effluent.

Or the fish partied too hard last night.

I went fishing at Holmes run today to find a whole lot of fish dead in the stream. I thought it might have been just a few fish but as i continued up the stream, i found more and more. I found large fish measuring from 11" to 14" as well as small fingerlings and minnows. I thought it might have been a bad batch of fish but i found a carp looking fish dead as well. I also ran into a gentleman that was saying he was catching fish 4 days ago as well as seeing people posting here cathcing fish there. I hope another leak hasn't happened there but just wanted to put the word out to see if anyone else has seen this and when they did or if they caught fish there recently so we can try to determine when this occurred. Below are some pics i took of the dead fish. Not good
