The clean-up of millions of stinking, rotting, dead fish is finally underway almost a week after an unprecedented fish kill in a far western NSW town. 

Contractors will arrive at the river early Wednesday morning with fish nets, to begin the mammoth task of scooping out dead fish carcasses from the Darling-Baaka River, and disposing of their remains.
