LAKE KAGAWONG—Residents around Lake Kagawong are concerned with a significant number of dead fish, specifically bass, washing up on the lake’s beaches. Meanwhile, a Billings township councillor said he will be pursuing the issue with the province.

“In the summer there is always the odd fish that washes up on the shore, but I’ve never seen anything like this,” stated Stan Pierce. “We have owned this camp for 75 years but have never had this many fish wash up on our beach (located at the north end of Lake Kagawong). I’ve never seen anything like this before.”

Mr. Pierce explained, “we are on the north end of Lake Kagawong, a mile outside of the village of Kagawong on Lakeshore Road. The fish that we are seeing are all bass, all large (adult) between three-quarters of a pound to two pounds. And they keep rolling in every day.”
