Dono - those abundant common shiners are also eating a lot of YP fry. You would not have lots of common shiners if you did not have a water falls where they spawn successfully in the water current. If you want to reduce shiner recruitment turn off the water falls then you will not have any common shiner reproduction this year. If you don't believe me, try it.
