Are you talking about just upstream from the Burkesville bridge? Good lord that place stinks when you are there in the summer.

Very doubtful that it was methane from the landfill if your referring to Triple K Landfill which is the only MSW landfill in the area. Maybe theres an old closed one nearby that Im not aware of since Im not familiar with the area. I was at Triple K yesterday to do some sampling and thats an unusual landfill. It perched on the knob and methane migrates upwards whenever possible. The hydroge sulfide is the most logical explanation.

There is a type of aquatic vegetation called muskgrass of the Genus Chara that has a very strong smell. Could it be this...

I think we have a winner. This looks just like what I brought in on my spinner bait. Now to call my fishing buddy and tell him I am sorry and he dont have to take a bath this week.
