The first of many shad for the 2015 season has been caught at Fletcher’s by Bob Smith. Bob and I went out this afternoon despite the murky and cold water. Many early season shad are caught in slack water, well off the main edge of current. This hickory was no exception. The weather and water conditions this weekend don’t look encouraging but at least there are a few fish in the river. With the warm temperatures next week we are poised for an explosion of fishing. It has begun.
