Willard winter kill?

[wiperhunter2]

It would be very unlikely but as Kent pointed out, the greater danger is losing a lot of shad. The winter before last was very bad for the shad because the ice covered the lake for three months, maybe longer and gizzard shad have a high death rate when ice covers a lake longer than one month. I think the shad are still recovering from that winter, we use to see so many shad that the screen on your fish finder would go black or you would see these huge ball of shad from the top to the bottom of the finders but that has been a thing of the past. If we get another winter where the lake freezes for more than a month, with these low water conditions, they might have to replant the shad and that would be very bad for every fish in Willard, lets just hope that doesn't happen.
