Shad Fishing - Bonneville Dam

With the shad numbers soaring to almost 75,000 on the 21st I would have to say if you are wanting to partake of this seasons run it is time to get down there. We have had great numbers of folks down there this past week and virtually everyone has had good results. I would have to say that this week and next will more than likely be the peak of the run and will decline after that. Some who have not had their fill of shad fishing will continue upstream and chase them at John Day Dam also. We still have a good supply of Shad Darts on hand though we are out of a few of the color choices.
