Ian Bruce, executive coordinator with the conservation group Peninsula Streams Society, said the fish were spotted by a young boy, whose parents alerted the Town of Sidney. Town officials then called in the society to examine the fish and stream. Bruce said 318 cutthroat trout, 13 sculpins, 11 stickleback and three coho, along with crayfish, worms and other small species were counted among the dead animals within a 150-metre span of the creek.
