Not in central Indiana. Menhaden are salt water fish.

Roger that...somehow I missed the first line of the post...I do know you can find them in estuaries.

We have a fish called alewives up here in the great lakes. It's a fish that lives in the ocean, but breeds in fresh water. When they dug the Welland Canal around Niagara Falls to allow shipping from the St. Lawrence Seaway into the upper great lakes, alewives came on in and decimated the natural balance of the lakes. Back in the 60's and 70's there were massive alewives die-offs that left hundreds of miles of shoreline littered with a strip of dead fish a foot deep and 10' wide. Man, did that stink! :p Alewife (fish) - Wikipedia

The great lakes are also home to sea lampreys. Those, too, came around Niagara falls thanks to the Welland Canal, and decimated lake trout populations. Sea lamprey - Wikipedia

To keep it tractor related, those dead fish we saw last weekend had R4 tracks all over them where the tractor came through. :laughing:

Some really neat pictures being posted guys. Love seeing this stuff. Keep'm coming!
Here's a few more I got over the weekend. We finally got a little snow here in Pittsburgh so I decided to get some shots of it while I had the chance.
It's back to rain all week now. :thumbdown:
