Reply With QuoteThe shad run is a big deal down here on the Cape Fear at lock and dam 1. The river is unsafe high at the moment though and is going to take a while to get fishable. But that is a fun fishery.

High water can also make it more difficult to fish for them. This is esp true if you are bank fishing as water may be up in the trees where you are trying to fish making casting hard. From a boat if water is up in the trees the fish may be up there too making presentation hard. Pulses of increased flow can be good to get the fish moving around and heading up but long high water events make it tougher to catch. Right now for instance you'd probably do better up a major creek where the water may be clearer and not as high as in the Neuse, Cape Fear, Tar or Roanoke.

with warmer weather and higher water, shad moves up river earlier than normal, right?
