North Dakota Survive Rugged Winter

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) - North Dakota's fisheries chief says fish
in most of the state's lakes appear to have survived a rugged
winter.
Greg Power says surveys this month showed winter fish kill on
about eight lakes, compared with a massive die-off the winter
before.
He says North Dakota typically has winter kill at about 10 lakes
annually. Record snowfall across North Dakota during the 2008-09
winter led to a major fish kill on about 50 lakes.
Heavy snow over the past two winters has refreshed and refilled
lakes in the state. Power says even lakes that have suffered winter
kill in the past two years have benefited from the heavy snowfall.
