May 16th Nova Scotia Shad Fishing on the Fly

Nova Scotia Shad Fishing on the Fly is in full swing. My friend Brad and I were out from about 6:00 PM until dark, at 9:00 PM or so.

We had such a successful evening that I hesitate to give the report.

You know how anglers have a tendency to exaggerate. Well, rather than bring myself under suspicion I will just say it was awesome. My arm is sore today.

Brad kept one fish for his father in-law who loves a meal of Shad every year. It is apparently a Caribbean tradition.

I will see if I can get the Trinidadian recipe and post it here for those interested.
