Something's Fishy in the Chippewa River: DNR Investigates

What could be some kind of a toxic spill into the Chippewa River is raising eyebrows with the Deparment of Natural Resources. DNR officials with the Spooner office were called to part of the river near Bruce Thursday afternoon. Jaime Dunn with that office says it's too soon to say exactly what they're dealing with. A black, oily substance was skimming the water Thursday near where Northland Adventures' Host Dave Carlson was fishing. "I've never seen anything like this", says Carlson. The DNR has taken water samples and has checked the area for a source. Nothing is obvious at this time and an investigation will move forward.
