Would GSH spawn on straw that might be placed/weighted down in the pond?



From the SRAC publication on baitfish:

"Golden shiners scatter adhesive eggs on vegetation or supplied substrates such as hay. No care is given to the young. Spawning starts in the south about mid-April at 68 �F (20 �C) and fish spawn periodically until water temperatures exceed 81 �F (27 �C), typically around the end of June."


Just have to make sure the hay sinks and stays in place.
