Columbia River Shad Numbers Increasing

Took a look at the Bonneville Dam shad counts today to see if the numbers are increasing from last weeks glance. The numbers have come up substantially with a count as of yesterday at 8,283 ytd. Though not great total numbers totally the daily numbers have been increasing greatly with a couple thousand going through one day earlier this week. I would say the way things are going that there might be a good chance to have some fishable numbers there by next weekend for the long three day holiday. I will up date the numbers mid next week.

We have been selling good numbers of shad darts for the past couple of weeks to people anticipating this fishery. We should have enough on hand for at least a few more weeks.
We have them in Flame/Chartreuse, Lime Green/Chartreuse, Pink/Pearl, Flame/Pearl, Pink/Glow and Flame/Glow color combinations. Once they are gone that will be it until next year.

More updates on the shad next week!
