^You raise some excellent points regarding reporting of the event. Solid info is lacking in regard to timing and scope of the fish kill. There are enough photos on social media to show that SOMETHING happened but not much more.
As for trout moving to cold water sources, in this case Halter Creek, I think it's rather likely. There was video of trout crowding near a spring on the LJR Facebook page that was linked at the beginning of the thread. If fish are trying to find cold water refuge on the LJR they're certainly doing the same in Frankstown. Halter likely makes up a significant part of the rivers flow in the effected area right now (if not the majority) and would probably draw most of the trout in that area.
