SHAD

Spring is here and the month of April is almost over. It is time to get your Shad gear out of the closet because the Sacramento River is full of Shad. The Shad run will last for at least a month as they make their way to their spawning grounds. The first group of Shad will usually head up the Sacramento and Feather River first. Then the American River Shad will follow after. I have caught Shad in the American River all the way into the month of June.

One of the HOT SPOTS now is below the Freeport Bridge and at the Mouth of the Feather River. Shad Darts and one-inch pink or chartreuse grubs work the best.

For more information on Shad fishing read my article posted on www.AlanfongFishinreport.com

Good Fishin, Alan
