ex - I'm not going to live with you through one more fishing season!
me -There's a season?

Local Orvis shop set up an event they called Shadfest, to introduce people to the Shad run in Raleigh.  I had never fished with Shad so I was intrigued and went to their intro event, fly tying night, half day fishing saturday and full day sunday. 

Pretty good setup at the intro event they had free Sweetwater beer and wild game hor d'oeurves (buffalo meatballs, smoked salmon, bacon wrapped chukar)  Fly tying night they had free beer and that turned into one person trying to teach 30 to tie.  So I ended up working with 5 or so people helping them tie clousers and shad darts.  Saturday and Sunday we headed out to Milbournie Dam to try our luck on shad.

Saturday didn't have a ton of luck managed one shad, but it was fun.  Orvis brought out 3 boats to try and help people get on the fish.

Sunday we got out there at 9 and fished until about 1.  They were staying later but my wife and I had some errands to run.  No free beer this time but they did provide  Smithfield's fried chicken and hush puppies.  Managed 5 shad and a good size white bass, and a tiny minnow I didn't realize was on until I couldn't cast right a few times in a row.  Pretty fun weekend of fishing and I will never complain about free beer and food.

All gizzard's?

Yeah all I got was Gizzards, from the boats on Saturday they did manage one Hickory and one American.  I think it is pretty early in the run still, I plan on going back a little further into the run to try and hook up with some big Americans.

I do apologize but figured you wouldn't want to drive up to Raleigh to hang with the Whorvis guys just to get it.   0:0
