Perihsylvani Perihsylvani S\ Annl 1997/51.50 Susquehanna River Shad Update One-hundred and twenty-six years ago, Pennsylvania Governor Andrew Curtin signed Act 336, which established the post of Pennsylvania fish commissioner. At that time, the first commissioner's major responsibility was management of the migratory fishes in the Susquehanna River. Today, the Commission's responsibilities have broadened to include every public fishery and boating resource in the Commonwealth, and it also participates directly in management decisions affecting the Great Lakes and the Atlantic marine fisheries. In spite of these broadened responsibilities, the Commission still places a very high priority on management of Susquehanna River anadromous fish, in particular, the American shad. The Commission took a major step 40 years ago when it conducted a compre­ hensive study of the migratory habits of shad in the river. The results of the 1952 study were encouraging and led to many additional studies and the formation of an advisory group to administer study and restoration efforts. In 1969, the Commission and repre­ sentatives from Maryland, New York and the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service formed the Susquehanna Shad Advisory Committee to work with Philadelphia Electric Com­ pany and upstream utility companies to implement a major shad restoration program. Restoration efforts have moved slowly but steadily forward during the past 23 years. In July 1991,1 reported to you on the completion of a modern fish lift at the Conowingo Hydroelectric Station. It was constructed by Philadelphia Electric Company at a cost of $ 12 million. During operation of this lift for the first time in 1991, some 27,227 adult shad were captured at Conowingo, more than three times the catch just two years be­ fore, and nearly double the 1990 catch. At the same time, the upper Chesapeake Bay Edward R. Miller, P.E. American shad population has grown from 8,074 in 1984 to 139,862 in 1991, a 17-fold Executive Director increase. Pennsylvania Fish & Boat Commission Numbers offish, however, do not tell the entire success story. Fish captured in 1991 were 40 percent females and nearly 15 percent repeat spawners. These factors are very important to the continued success of the restoration effort because they indicate that a healthy and more viable population is being established. On January 24, 1992, a proposed settlement agreement was transmitted to the Penn­ sylvania Power and Light Company, Safe Harbor Water Power Company, and the York Haven Power Company, licensees of the Holtwood, Safe Harbor and York Haven hy­ droelectric projects. The proposal spells out a three-year design and construction pe­ riod for installation of fish passage facilities at these dams. During 1992 the Commis­ sion is making every effort to reach final agreement on installation plans and schedules with the dam owners. In the meantime, the 1992 restoration efforts and studies will continue. Both lifts at Conowingo will be operated, and captured American shad and some herring will be trucked upriver and released. Up to 35 million American shad eggs will be collected from the Hudson, Delaware and Connecticut rivers, and our Van Dyke Shad Rearing Facility near Thompsontown will rear fry and fingerlings for 1992 release into the Susquehanna Basin and the upper Chesapeake Bay. Van Dyke will also hatch and rear up to four million American shad eggs from the James and Pamunkey rivers for the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries and the James River restoration program. Juvenile shad assessment efforts will be conducted in Pennsylvania during August through Novem­ ber, while Maryland fisheries personnel will conduct adult shad assessments in the lower Susquehanna River and upper Bay. A major effort will be made to gain specific information regarding movements and behavior of migratory adult shad as they approach the dams at different river flow and project operating conditions. It is planned to radio-tag, release and monitor movements of several hundred adult shad as they approach Holtwood Dam, and in the tailraces and spillway areas of the three dams. Results of this study should provide valuable infor­ mation needed to make final design decisions on location and types of entrance and at­ traction structures needed to complete engineering designs. The Commission will continue all necessary efforts to complete these important fish passage projects as soon as possible.

They use this tactic because shad move closer to shore to migrate upstream as the flow increases and strengthens. In high water, you most often don't even need a boat to intercept the shad on their upriver journey because they remain out of the strongest flow, and that frequently means that the fish can be found close to shore. Check out a spot also looking downstream and upstream so that you get an idea of the route the shad would take on their upriver migration. The channel edges of deep-water curves are also likely spots.
