6 Quotes by Kerry Prather

We feel that this was an intentional introduction of shad. It takes more than a handful of fish (to establish a population). It was someone who knew what they were doing. They probably brought the shad here in an aerated, circular tank.

Ideally, you want to draw down a lake to reduce the area that needs to be treated, but that wasn't possible here at Corinth.

We've got some pretty good numbers this year; it bodes well for the future.

Once the shad have been removed, it will take about two years for the lake to produce quality bluegill again.

It looks good, but it's not over yet. There are thousands of dead shad floating, but some are still in distress. It takes longer for it to take effect in cold water.
