Phenomenal American shad bite over the last few days. So good that they have bullied out the hickories to the point where it is rare to catch one in the Fletchers area. Fish now, heavy rain in the watershed will blow out the river by Tuesday, possibly earlier. After the river settles down there will be shad and stripers around. Water temperature will remain reasonable and the increased flow will recharge all fishing once it clears up.
