When do shad start running?

[@zbazz8]

I bleed all my shads immediately after unhooking. The meat tastes much better with the blood drained.

[@bebe0928]

Yes, agree! I would do the same if I plan to eat them. These guys will go to the freezer for crab baits 😄

Do we need Columbia river license to fish for shad?

[@bebe0928]

You just need the state basic fishing license to fish for Shad, for the state that you be fishing from.

Hello, please tell me what licenses, papers are needed for legal fishing on Shad. Thank you.

[@bebe0928]

Oregon or Washington basic fishing license depends on where side you are fishing from. That’s pretty much it
