Out in the mini again today. It was dead slow in the usual big hole spot. Bill Quinn was anchored at the drop off and ended up bailing down river. I headed down to the next riffle and found some...

Out in the mini again today. Matt Nelson, Erik and Rod were in their jet boats. The bite was slow because the flow dropped about 500 cfs. Fished for 6 hours and ended up with a dozen. Still waiting...

Thanks Ant! That’s what I heard from Matt.

Solo float in the mini today. It was onesie twosies all day but I understand that there has been big schools moving in mid-river. Andrew Foster was the only other boat in the reach that I fished. He...

Floated again with Earle today. It was inconsistent for us with one or two here and there. The big push should be coming in this week!

Floated with Earle Sloan today and we got a few swinging. It’s still spotty and they are not in thick. Andrew Foster and his friend Ryan caught some in front of us. Andrew gave me a size 18 fly that...

Floated with Tyler Immer and Andrew Foster early yesterday morning and we didn't find any so we decided to do a second float. Ran into Capt Andy who was doing some scouting so I jumped in his boat...

Lower water years they tend to hang in the lower river longer but on high water years they usually shoot right up. Shad can travel up to 40 miles per day!

There are not a lot of shad in the system...

Took the mini out for a float and got a couple of medium sized hens in one run. Even thought they were there they wouldn’t take a swung fly so it was strictly indo nymphing. Joe Vasquez and Happy...

The video is pretty much the original Bloody Maria recipe.

Did some recon with Andy today in his jet boat. We didn’t get any shad but checked out some nice holes. Don Morris and Karl Bly were out also and they didn’t see any shah. Any day now!

Been trying every day but I still haven’t gotten my first shad for this run. On Monday, I did see a sea lion chasing something downriver. Matt told me that he found a school of small males in a deep...

Erik, Glad to hear that you and Rod got into some. That means they will show up on the A. any day now.

Took the mini out today but didn’t get anything. Ran into Don Morris in his canoe and he told me he found a small pod and got a couple before some stripers broke the party up a few days ago.
