    I thought that was him based on what he said... but then you got me thinking... and my eyesight is not what it used to be. Joe is a really good guy. He even asked me today if I needed any water or anything... Joe is definitely the nicer half of that outfit... It's no secret that I'm not very fond of his partner, Phil. I'll leave it at that.

    Here's a summary of this year's run for me:

    Caught my first shad on 5/5 (the day after I retired)
    Fished 79 days in a row averaging 26 per day
    May average 29 per day
    June average 28 per day
    July average 20 per day
    Best day over 70 wading a run with one other angler early in the run.

    This is my last daily update but I'll post if I catch more. I hate this time of year! I go through withdrawals because I'm a shadaholic!

    Impressive Jeff! So no 2018 half-pounder report?

    I think you mean SHADoholic?
    Maybe SHOPoholic though (the way you go through flyrods...)
    This time of year, one group of crazies (shadoholics) gets replaced by another crazy lot (salmon guys).
    The one saving grace (for you) is that few people target the early steelhead and so you have that fishery to yourself just as I have a monopoly on stripers from June to August while everyone is obsessed with shad.
    Of course, steelies are often where salmon are just as stripers are often where shad are.
    Life on the AR is a dance with a double-edged sword...
    You got to move and groove with it and try not to stab yourself...
    CONGRATS JEFF! on a great shad season and I'll see you on the river

    We are so lucky to have such a great clear river running right through town........the Lower American River.

    I have fished it for about 60 years starting with drifting night crawlers for Steelhead.

    We used Rebel plugs and Hair Razor jigs for Stripers.

    We trolled with Flat fish for salmon.

    We use small chrome jigs for Shad.
