Umpqua River- Elkton, Oregon at Sawyers Rapids

This is shad we caught on the umpqua river last year. A good day's fishing

is when your arm hurts the next day. It's the best crab bait ever and when it is smoked, pressure cooked and canned I think it tastes better than smoked salmon. Chuck's seafood in charleston, Or. does a great job of canning shad. Try it sometime it will surprise you....
