I was going to title the story "salmon" and maybe describe the fish, but just call them "fish" in the story. If I change the title to something more fairy-tale-ish and the description so to be shad description rather than salmon, I think I can get away with it. I've never heard of shad before, and I'm not sure how many of my readers have either, but yeah, if I don't mention the specific type of fish, that will be a good thing.

I've also pretty much decided to make this a stand-alone story rather than include it in my collection - that will give parents more of an option.

Thanks for the idea!
