Fortunately I was not up to my ankles so I was able to gingerly step around the scattered fish.
I did some googling and it had been mentioned on a couple websites that for one, the alewife and blueback were introduced to the great lakes via the Welland Canal. Second, being indigenous to the breakwaters of the St. Lawrence, apparently they are not suited for 100% fresh water and die-off in large numbers with the slightest shock.
I have witnessed nature first hand, but not like this... this... was just crazy!

That would be crazy if the fish where up to your ankles, imagine the fun a cat would have there! I've never witnessed something like that.

Don't let the cats loose! It could be another outbreak of botulism.
It was a joke...
