Russian River - Shad Run 2019

Thanks for sharing. I've considered shad fishing when I'm visiting the central valley. Looks like a blast on 4lb test.

Awesome, thanks for the report/reminder Dave.  I have not targeted them this year yet, but I typically do in late April through Memorial Day.  So much fun on light tackle and fly rods!  See you out there in the "Juan hole", which is where I typically have done the best.

I highly recommend you do...They put most trout to shame!

Poor mans tarpon.  I love them, they are just showing up here in Sacramento.  I'll be floating the river starting next week.

They look like a blast!

Thanks, you always have great fishing reports. I hope you try Shad fishing you wont be disappointed. 

Thanks for the reminder! Used to fish the American River in Sacto a lot, but it’s been years now. Now that I’m on the coast, the Russian seems like s good choice. Just have to go figure it out... he said easily.

Looks like great fun! A stop by Russian River Brewery to end the day would be the cherry on top.

I like the way you think Scarlyt!   

The Wohler Dam went up on May 9th. If anyone is going to chase Shad now I would focus your efforts down river from this area.
