Fisherman are noticing hundreds of yellow perch on the surface along the shoreline of Lake Michigan.
The Illinois Department of Natural Resources believes that the cause is upwelling, a rare condition in which cold water rises from the deep, pushing up the fish, according to WGNTV.
The fish can then become a feast for seagulls and ducks.
