Well I don't know the whole story but I have heard that there was an ethanol spill or that there was just something wrong with the water but either way I hope they find out what it is till then I wouldn't suggest eating the fish out of the Rock River.

Here are some pictures I took at the lower dam.

I didn't see any Bass, catfish, walleye, etc in those pictures.

ya kinda weird only carp, and some other random fish. I did happen to see one catfish though I did not take a picture of it because it was closer up on the shore.... I wonder why it would only effect them fish mainly and not the others.

That's a shame and strange at the same time also hope it don't kill off all the fish and get's cleaned up soon.

Yes it is, and sadly the ethanol train derailment killed two people who were waiting at the grade crossing for the train to pass.
Tight lines.
