Re: Headgates dam Raritan river Duke Island Park:
Tell the half a million shad that used to run up the Raritan river how good the dams are. They were called the "founding fish" because the early Indians used to rely on these fish as a food sorce to hold them over. I don't think we will see half a million shad returning to the Raritan river each year, but to think it had a run that rivals the Delaware river is amazing.
