2013 Shad in Full Swing

The Spring Shad season has been great on all of the Coastal Rivers this year.  Reports from the Neuse, the Roanoke, and several other rivers have been outstanding.  I had the pleasure of spending some time on both the Roanoke and Cashie Rivers in March, and had a great time. 







 
 
 
 


These fish are a bunch of fun to catch, whether on light spinning rods or on 5wt fly rods.  They should still be around for a week or two if you are interested in chasing them.  As these shad finish their spawn and head back downstream, the striped bass will be making their way upriver to spawn over the next month or two.
