Fish Tale Mystery Solved

Apparently hundreds of fish were killed in recent weeks when the neighborhood lake temperature rose to above 90°. According to the experts the ammonia level reached toxic limits with the high outside temperatures over 115 degrees. All the dead fish floated to the edge of the lake where they were washed ashore or “fished” out of the lake by people or animals. So it appears the most likely answer for the fish in our backyard is a cat picked it up (with its hands of course) and carried into said yard disproving my theory the fish walked there.
