Don’t get worked up because I haven’t been out looking for shad this run but it will be soon. This year the river conditions (4K cfs and 54 deg) are more conducive for them to make the right turn into the American. I expect them to be in the river within the next two weeks. I’ve cooked up a new Perdigon style fly that has worked on steelhead. We'll have to see if it works for shad!
