another interesting shad matter.....
The Anacostia Watershed Society (AWS)
does some great work on the long term restoration of that troubled river and feeder streams. There latest newsletter discusses seeding shad on the Anscostia watershed. The folks at AWS are providing shad eggs to school classes to hatch and release. I look forward to casting for shad on those improving waters.
I have caught some shad. I was not sure if they were American or hickory. I knew about the one dot and more dots on sides. When I catch it, it has only one dot when I look at it directly. Then I see more dots when I look at it with little tilt.
Which one do you think? I caught about 15 shads, lost one and lost shooting head line (broke off from running line. I used spey two hands rod) last Saturday.
Thanks
Richard

I see that now. Thanks Alex and Bobby.

Underbite. A Hickory shad’s lower jaw protrudes past the upper jaw when closed. General size is also a good indicator, with hickories being moderately smaller than Americans, but nothing’s set in stone.

How long they are going to stay in Fletchers Cove? 1 week? 2 weeks?

Like someone else mentioned, the best way to catch Americans is to fish slow and deep. I barely strip the line. A few inches at a time with very long pauses in between. I almost always catch fewer fish than other guys so you will probably sacrifice numbers for size.
