The shad in the low wiper years survived and have grown quite large. I think the survey taken last year said 70% of all fish in Union are shad.<br /><br />We saw millions of them near the cattails and the fish finder saw a bunch in the 20-25 feet sections as well in the middle of the lake.<br /><br />Avg wiper is 14-16 inches in union and growing.Brandonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01325418521125696576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12682641.post-9409100642249273632009-08-18T14:14:33.428-06:002009-08-18T14:14:33.428-06:00Love the shad on the fly.

Does Union have any schooling up of bigger adult shad for a spawn attempt or do they just get decimated by the wipers before ever getting that large? I thought someone said the shad stack up there and the wipers sit on them gorging.... but I don't know.wyoflyfishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02364445771143096196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12682641.post-83732463858518284632009-08-18T09:33:24.356-06:002009-08-18T09:33:24.356-06:00all i can think when i see/hear the word "chu...all i can think when i see/hear the word "chubs" is happy gilmore, the wooden hand, and the one-eyed crocodile....Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01648161645272136543noreply@blogger.com
