I fished down in Somerset, by the 2nd 287 crossing, didn't catch anything, but I saw TONS of baby fish, some as small as grains of sand, others at least 2 inches long. Did see a gaggle of sunfish hanging around the bank also, looked like they were geting ready to get ready.

Andy- this is part of the River herring/American shad project going down this week.
