I know, I know: Puns are the lowest form of comedy. I couldn’t help myself. Anyway…
Anadromous hickory and American shad are making their yearly run up the James River to spawn, and because of a cool feature on the Department of Game and Inland Fisheries Website, you can watch them go. The DGIF has installed a shad cam in the Bosher’s Dam fishway (Bosher’s Dam is the one you can see from the Willey Bridge over the James).
Here’s a link to info about the DGIF’s efforts to restore shad populations in Virginia.
