I live in SE VA and the last house I lived in wasn't near anything you'd consider a lake or a river. 2-3 miles to a swamp or beaver pond.
After Hurricane Floyd we had a major flood. Water was flowing over the road in front of our house. The kids were out messing in it, as kids will do, and came back and said "There's fish in the road!" I said "Sure there is." all fatherly and knowing. They got my dip net and netted a pickerel about 9-10"
I guess I'm saying, floods definately spread fish. And I agree that no egg will live in a bird's stomach. I'm sceptical of the foot thing too. No offense to anybody. I've heard it my whole life too.
