So that’s it!
In 2020, researchers discovered that viable fish eggs can survive the journey through a duck. Survival rate was quite low (~.2 percent), but ducks can gobble up thousands of fish spawn in season. It’s enough to explain how fish turn up in bodies of water that have never been stocked by man.
The common explanation before that was fish dropped from the beaks or talons of fishing birds. Pffff!
The flood of spam has reduced to a trickle. Oh, I’m still getting half a dozen a day, but it was fifty or so at peak. I wonder if someone has shut down another source.
