The Yankee reservoir was closed to fishing on Monday August 14 by Deputy Game Warden Claude Mac farlane. Low water and high sun exposure dried oxygen in the reservoir, causing many fish to suffocate. Club members built a flume from Pole creek to boost oxygen, and some fish gathered near the fall as water was added. About 3,933 fish were removed and buried, with survivors confined to a small fresh-water pool near the creek mouth.
