The roughly 400 rotting fish, mostly crappie, had been discovered on Monday in rural Campbell County. They'd apparently been there for a few days and still had all of their meat.

"Within a couple of hours, the individual responsible for dumping the fish called me and turned himself in," South Gillette Game Warden Dustin Kirsh said in a Thursday afternoon update from the department, adding, "I would really like to thank the sporting public for providing tips and information on this case."
The department's update said nothing about why the man had so many dead fish or whether he'd been cited for a crime.
