Various fish have washed up on a local park due to the recent winter storm.

According to our reporting partners at the Elkhart Truth, frozen gobies, trout, crayfish, and mudpuppies have been washing up on the beach along Washington Park .

Indiana DNR biologists think the storm and the massive waves washed the fish onto the beach.

Most fish move to deeper water in the winter where the water is warmer, however the fish now on the shore were not able to do that before the storm hit.

The National Weather Service says wind gusts reached 40 miles per hour during that storm.
