Shad camera

[Larry S]

The Virginia Fish and Game Department seasonally operates an
underwater camera near a dam on the James River. While at times
it can be a bit like watching paint dry, often one will get a glimpse
of fish passing the window.

I saw a shad Larry... Thanks to you brutha that's been the first live fish I've seen in a month. I'll use this tool to keep motivated as the flows drop a bit. Just to think I almost risked jail time by throwing streamers in a Oscar tank at a local pet shop I frequent...

Lots of fish showing up on the shad cam today (4-2-06.) Bigger ones
are shad. Schools of smaller alewives and herring. Activity often
increases during the night.

What time do the mermaids come through?

[Larry S]

Hey Bill:
Mermaids may be on their way. My Yahoo home page has a story
about an underwater theater. "Actors" have to be able to hold
their breaths for 3 minutes at depths to 20 feet. Wonder what kind of fight one would give when hooked?

There was a Largemouth Bass hanging around in front of the camera this morning, looked bored.

I've also seen a ton of lamprey moving through there....

Wow....I guess lampreys are not on the endangered list.
