What's the purpose?
There's water flowing with and pushing the fish, so I'm guessing that this has a cause, but not a purpose.Quote:

That looks like they were dumped out of a fish stocking truck. It could have been an accident, or maybe the truck got stuck in the sand and had to dump part/all of its load. That appears to be a dry track in the middle of a desert area, not a wash, so I doubt surface water ever runs down it. And notice that all the fish are concentrated in one area, and they are all about the same (big fingerling) size.
Something fishy going on here.
Lemming fish?
I bet the raccoons, coyotes, and other various scavengers came for miles.
