closeRALEIGH -- The warm weather -- at least through Wednesday -- has claimed another batch of fish in a Raleigh lake.
Officials discovered between 20 and 30 dead gizzard shad floating in Lake Johnson on Wednesday, said Richard Costello, who oversees lakes for the city parks department. Last month officials found several hundred dead shad floating in Lake Johnson. Shad are very sensitive to temperature change, and state and local officials believe both incidents were caused by rising temperatures in the lake.
