The only tributary of Fishing Creek which contains dissolved aluminum in concentrations of over 100 micrograms per liter is East Branch Fishing Creek . Fishing Creek itself and all of its other tributaries had dissolved aluminum concentrations of less than 70 micrograms per liter. This concentration is linked to the thawing of soils, as demonstrated by the fact that aluminum levels in Fishing Creek peak in March and April and drop to almost zero in the summer.
