Default Dead Fish at Spanish Springs

My daughter & I walked around the body of water at Spanish Springs closest to Rt 441 today. We were shocked to see hundreds of dead catfish on the shore all the way around. They were all about a foot long and had been eaten by the birds. They look like they've been dead awhile. Does anyone know why they died? Someone surmised it was because those fish burrow into the mud and the water level has dropped significantly leaving them in drydock. Another theory was that the PH factor of the water is all screwed up because of bird & duck dung. Anyone know the truth?
