Shad at Willard - two years???

[Trent_S]

Thanks Pat for this large write up on shad. I hope you will indulge me with more questions. I should be getting your CD in the mail in about two days.

What stimulates the shad to move from shore to "openness" in the spring and when does it happen at Willard? It seems they move from shore to openness about mid-June after getting to about 3/4" long (correct?). Is the zoo plankton happening more in the middle than the shores at that time (water temps?)? At what size do the shad start to school? Thx.
