shad

So Billy -

Who has been catching shad?
I hear these reports of people catching shad......

Where, and what lines? Type VIII and higher or type IV? Possibly T lines?

Thank you, oh Billy,

Jeff Putnam said he saw 3 spin fishers catching them a few days back at Herrington?

The lower American river will be 6,300 for the weekend and then back up to 8,000 on Monday.

Big Willy, I am assuming you were fishing from a boat. If not and you were wading, how was it down there with the high water? 8000 cfs isn't much compared to 25000 cfs but still kinda high.
