I've been marking what I guess are shad on every trip to Willard, they were right under the ice, eating plankton no doubt. What effects shad more than anything else is how long the ice stays on the lake, they do well when ice only covers the lake for two months, when it extents to three month, it is not good for the smaller shad but I think it has little effect on the larger shad.
