lurem Posted December 27, 2018 Report Share Posted December 27, 2018 I remember reading about this back in May or June of this year. It happened again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pondfisher Posted December 27, 2018 Report Share Posted December 27, 2018 We were out yesterday at the Skyway and the water was chocolate milk. Maybe just from weather but still really bad. Lots of particles in the water so maybe sewage? Nevertheless, was too rough to fish for very long. Should have stayed home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
