Great action! Love seeing the action when the fish bites! Thank you for the video and I’m planning to head down there this coming weekend and it’s going to be crazy with free fishing weekend
Very helpful video! I live in Seattle and someone told me about the shad run yesterday, hope to hit the river this week and try to catch some for the first time
Yes you have another good 2 weeks or 3 weeks left 👍. Thank you for watching and if you like to see how to rig up for Shad please check out my video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-P722w_e0SSY.htmlsi=WXH_gI0avMWqHLro
No they were mainly males and the females usually come in around mid June to the end of June. I really enjoy their eggs so good! Thank you for watching my man!
I was fishing in the same area early this morning. There was enough catching to keep things fun, but nothing like your day yesterday. Green seemed to be the color of choice. Im still trying to figure out the weights and the drift, I spent way too much time hung up. Either way, its still a great time!
If you get snagged a lot it’s because your weight is too heavy or you’re letting it sink too far down and reeling in too slow. I tend to use half an ounce but it all depends on the movement of the water. If it’s moving too quickly I would use an ounce weight so it will help pull the dart down. If the current is pretty slow I always use half ounce. Yesterday I did not get stuck on any rocks and used the same dart all day. Hopefully this helps and glad to hear you had a good time today! Thank you for watching
@@washingtonlife thanks! I think it might be my count. I was using 3/8 oz or a 1/2 oz egg sinker and my retrieve was pretty similar to yours in the video. However, I was giving it a 10 count on average. I'll try shortening that up a bit the next time I go and see how that does. Thanks for the reply!
The day you were there over 72k over the dam. The run is in will go over 100K soon. I have caught them on the 4th of July if the run is between 15K and 10K on the 3rd. Three years out of the last four. Stay safe

Yes I will be soon. Thank you for watching and I have older videos of how I cook them. Here’s a video that I sun dry them ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-LGkwq8jkgio.htmlsi=IXqnxYRLCNZw_4u4
Yes they do but a lot of people use it for bait. I really like eating them and especially their eggs. The eggs are so good when fried up. I will make a catch and cook video with them soon next time I’m out there. Thank you for watching
