Shad Fishing

by john on March 30, 2009

Probably made my last trip to the tailrace today. Fishing was on. We put 25 - 30 fish in the boat today with many on flies. The water was on and off today the bite was very steady though. Fishing was still very good and should continue to be that way the next couple of weeks. A good place to go if you get blown out at the coast and want to go have a good day on the water.
