Did anyone notice the thousands of seagulls swarming the top water of the schuylkill river? I went down by the bank and saw tons of dead or dying shads. Most of them were minnows. I think the fish and game commission stocks the river with shad. Does anyone know if the dying shad happens ever year?

I saw a whole bunch of seagulls swarming the river near the Phoenixville/Mont Clare bridge a couple weekends ago but I was just driving by so I didn't notice any dead or dying fish.

They were at least from Phoenixville to Pottstown. There were dead minnows everywhere. The birds where having a field day. The water was very rough so I fished in the canal and saw the same thing. I have no idea if this is normal. I usually don't got fishing this early in the year but now I'm addicted lol
