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

Made the mistake of heading out to fish Holmes today without checking the board first. Count me as one more confirmation that a pretty bad kill happened there. 

Saw several dead trout in the lower stretches, nothing up top, and nothing alive in the water. I worked up from the doris kelley area, and crossed at least 4 of the low water spots. Every deep hole had a heavy, dark sediment load in the water - couldn't tell if it was sewage, or what, but it looked pretty nasty, so I didn't even get in the creek. The gas/sewage smell was present, but that seems like it's always there.

 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
