Nova Scotia - American Shad

To change things up a bit our Gang of Four decided to head east this spring to fish for shad. In the end one had to drop out for health reasons but the plan went ahead none the less. We managed to time out trip with the shad run in the Annapolis River area of Nova Scotia. Most of our fishing was on the Nictaux River. Three days of fishing hasn't disappointed. Shad on a fly rod may not be as technically challenging as some types of fishing. But the fish are strong and utilize the current effectively so the fight can be a challenge.
