What Is That Smell?

[firefrog]

Hello

A few weeks ago I was fishing on the west shore of Elbow Lake. At that time I noticed a strange smell. It was very similar to acetone. At first I thought it was my fishing gear or the local vegetation or something. Then just yesterday, I was out there again. Same thing. This time I kept a couple brookies to eat. When I got them home, I realized that even the fish had that smell! Now I'm concerned.

So, has anybody else been there lately and noticed this? Another question: does anyone know if there was ever a sawmill or lumber treatment site at this lake? Google doesn't help much, and I have librarphobia (fear of books).

Cheers

I would report that to whomever the Alberta Waste Managers are in government there to investigate asap.
