Fish Kill Begins at Don Williams

BOONE, Iowa---Efforts to eradicate the gizzard shad from the Don Williams Lake in Boone County started Monday, as the Iowa Department of Natural Resources applied chemical that removes oxygen from the water.  The result will be the kill off of the gizzard shad which have become a problem at the lake.  Andy Hockenson, Conservation Director says it's the last step in a plan that included lowering the lake level 16-feet, making repairs on the spillway of the dam and also doing some clean-up of the lake bottom.
