I was reading a bit today in between a run to the pond/farm, and standard family Sunday stuff and came across an article about Golden Shiners that mentioned them spawning in/on riprap. This was new info to me and thought I would double check to see if anybody has experience with this. My understanding of their spawning preferences were all basically organic (grass, weeds, FA, mats, straw....) with a brief mention in one post about shag carpet. I had read a little about the occasional spawning in BG and LMB nests "while in the neighborhood" but rip rap was completely new info to me.

Any of you pros out there ever hear or have experience with GSH spawning on riprap?
