2. MILLIONS of gizzard shad tossed into Erie boat slips, some six inches thick on top of the water. Only the curious and the brave can take the stench. PENNSYLVANIA ANGLER •
L MAY—1953 the I. NOR'WESTER over Lake Erie washes "dead tide" into Erie docks, lashes public steamboat landing at foot of State Street. Fishing parties take off from here for pike in summer season. ?? BIG ST I Mi 99 by bill walsh at erie BIG STINK from a dead tide of decaying gizzard shad washed inshore from Lake Erie to the city of Erie in January and February 1953 gave city fathers a big headache. A pall of stench over the city from the millions of fish washed ashore prompted the city health authorities to prohibit hauling them away through city streets. Though not a food or sport fish, the gizzard shad make a nuisance of themselves and can be used only for fertilizer by farmers of the area and by an Ohio firm manufacturing dog and cat foods. High in fat content the fish spoil quickly and smell more like fish than any fish known. Reasons for the dead tide are not yet fully understood.
