Minnesota Pollution Control says rainfall-driven runoff killed Rush Creek trout in July 2022
The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency on Thursday said that rainfall-driven runoff likely caused a fish kill in Rush Creek near Lewiston last summer.
The incident, which was discovered on July 26, 2022, occurred within a two-mile stretch of Rush Creek south of Lewiston, between Winona County Roads 29 and 90. Seventy-five percent of fish killed were brown trout, while the remaining species included white sucker and mottled sculpin.
