[cool][#0000ff]Wrong. THREADFIN shad cannot tolerate cold, but GIZZARD shad live in ice cap waters in many places...like Willard Bay.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Only problem with putting gizzard shad in trout waters is that the shad live almost exclusively on zooplankton. That makes them direct competitors with trout, which also depend heavily on the tiny stuff, especially in the fry stage. Gizzard shad would be worse competitors for trout than chubs.[/#0000ff]
