How many rivers have you caught a Shad on?

[John Sv]

That's the one! I don't work for TNC. I work for the Truckee Donner Land Trust. We are partners at i-Lake with TNC.

Bill sorry for the quick thread hijack, but since Alosa and Salmonid are both fish biologists (I think), I gotta digress. I got a BS in Fisheries Management at University of Maryland (the Fighting Terrapins).

Right on, John. Welcome to the club!

Alosa is a real fish bio, I'm just a geneticist working on salmonid DNA.

Take care,

This thread needs an American shad pic!

I've taken shad in the American, Yuba, Klamath, and Eel Rivers. I also caught one in Humboldt Bay
while perch fishing.

Feather, Sacramento, American, Yuba, Mokelumne

In the early 1990's, I would launch my pram at the diversion dam and fish to Hallwood. 50+ fish days into mid-July

In the late 1990's, the Mokelumne was very good for shad and close to home

Eel River very very cool. Anyone out there get one on the Klamath? I have fished with Alosa on the Yuba and Feather. He is the master folks! No one out there knows more about Shad life history in North America than him.

My list is as follows: American, Sac, Feather, Russian, Yuba, and Butte Creek. Still searching for one on the Eel and Klamath.
