That freaking sucks! I hope they make the gas station pay for rehabilitation.

It will be fine. Just needs time. When I was a kid the Perkiomen would catch on fire every week or two and it fishes fine these days. Lucky it was gas. This administration wants to get rid of gas in favor of electricity. Nothing more deadly than a massive electricity spill

Might better just light it on fire and start over but it won’t happen and a year from now there won’t be a word about it

What really sucks is I fish around there a lot and it will take years for it to come back if it ever will. Great smallmouth creeks.

Wow 40miles. Also no drinking the the water. Doesn’t look like it’s effecting the fish population maybe it is but at least you can still fish and catch fish.

I only fish bodies of water for trout, where I can keep them. I have a husky pit mix that loves fish. Trout for him, flounder for me.
