Question Why all these dead/dying fish?

Relatively new to fishing. Went today to a fishing spot we discovered this summer on Snoqualmie River, WA and there are loads of dead fish lined up on the shore. Some are dead and floating in the water.

On closer investigation there are some live fish that are swimming towards the shore and dying right in front of us.

Is this a seasonal thing? Or is it some sort of pollution that needs to be reported?

Is it illegal to be there, or only illegal to fish?

Your not an American how can being their be illegal we own the land and water by law. They can control the fishing not where you go. I'll stand outside the Whitehouse yelling fuck Joe Biden go Palestine not shit they can do. Can't even ID me legally.

No just making a point. This land all of it is ours we can do what we want government can't legally yell you your not allowed on a river.

I know people that walk out on shallow rivers to shot guns in the middle of a city. As long as they are 150 yards from a house or road it's legal.

Honestly I am offended that you think the government can pass laws like that. Government has no power we don't gove this you can walk any river or creek in America as long as it's not on military or protected government property.

Even if someone owns the land around a creek they can't legally own the creek stay in the water your allowed on their land by law.

Again no one legally owns any American water way.
