Bonneville Shad Fishing

With the number of shad going through Bonneville increasing the past few days into the 30,000 - 40,000 numbers has made fishing has quite good for most of the anglers whom we have spoken with. If you are wanting to fish shad this season I would have to say that the time is right and the next couple of weeks will provide the most opportunity for doing such. These are good little scrappers and are a lot of fun to fish. Fishing shad requires a minimum of tackle with a good trout rod, 8 - 10 pound test line, some cannonball or pencil lead sinkers and a handful of shad darts and you are ready to do business.
