Ogeechee river in southeast Ga. ,5 miles from my house.
My dad taught me how to fish here since i was knee high and now i have
started taking my 5 year old daughter here to teach her. On the river almost every weekend, hunting,camping, fishing.

It was a great redbreast and catfish fishery until now. they are suspecting a textile mill 40 miles upstream dumping acid. DNR thinks it may be years before the river will recover. As of now all boat ramps are barricaded.
no fishing,swimming, nothing.

Stopped at boat ramp today, roughly 50 dead fish in a pile awaiting testing, dead fish floating in the water.

i sat there at loss for words,almost to tears.

damn ,humans can be some fucing stupid.

Corporate greed @ the textile mill. "Make as much money as we can by cutting corners & dumping in the river vs paying for proper disposal. Screw the consequences, we don't vacation here."

That sux azz. I have a house near Coleman's Lake. Headed there next weekend, I guess no redbreast fishing...

this sucks...i was planning on getting out their to fish next weekend if i had the chance. you live in bulloch county? i thought i saw on the news last night the epa saying the mill was found to have not been dumping anything. if in fact they were, i hope they fine their a$$ a huge amount of money. sad part is it wont do anything to fix the river.

i live in bryan county.
fish kill from mill downriver, no fish kill from mill upriver.
not hard to put 2 and 2 together.

i agree with you...lots of good fishing out there too. i hope it aint this way all summer. but it looks like they have no idea how long this will last. fishing def aint gonna be very good for a while

What a shame

Yea hopefully that fine the shi!t out of them for that. Some people should've just been another stain on the sheets
