For the past seven or eight years, campers at Ewing Park in Angelina County have been noticing something strange floating in the lake - clumps of jelly-like substances that come in all shapes and sizes.

Even some veteran fishermen have never seen anything like it.

Some campers believe it's killing the fish.

"The hottest part of the summer is when it happens," said a Ewing Park camper.

They're not jellyfish, turtle eggs or unidentified sea creatures, they're bryozoans - big colonies of microscopic cells.
