Default Re: Gizzard Shad life cycle ??

I met a gent fishing the lamington once that said he caught a shad up there. He seemed trustworthy. I'd like to imagine someone threw shad up the falls upon catching them. But honestly if you've ever seen how high the river can get, I'd say it's not impossible for a fish thatis built to swim upstream for incredible lengths could pass the head gates.

This spring we did have water that went that high too, check the usgs history for the main stem. Right around the time shad were migrating up river.

Wouldn't it explain why you saw gizzard shad up in North Branch, Andy?
