FYI Shad

[Capt. Lou]

The lower Delaware netter is getting good numbers of Shad , if your standing by now would be the time to wet a line , gOod luck!

I never fished for shad, but I always find them dead up in the Water Gap. The bear and raccoons up there must gorge themselves! Here's a nice article about the tradition of shad fishing in the Delaware.

Interesting article on the genesis of our big D shad fishery.
Thanks for posting Doug , think I'll give it a try shortly , right after I get another couple of 5# plus trout !
Tomorrow might be the day , located a good big fish area of one of Pocono streams , keep working it hard, little rain would give me the shot I need !
