Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Shad Run- How far upstream?

They must make it up past the fish passage project.  That said, I've never seen anyone fishing for them up there.  You would think that they might stack up there.

The Little Falls Dam has a fish passage barrier on the Virginia side and while shad have been caught above the dam. The shad speaker at the NCC-TU shad night a few years ago mentioned that there was a historically know fishing spot near great falls on the VA side and was waiting to hear about a sport fisherman actually catching them there.

Safety is also a major concern anywhere above the "Helipad".

My Understanding is that it's pretty difficult for shad to get above great falls, and that it is dangerous to fish in that area anyways because of the river conditions.

Even though we're about 10 degrees until the shad run starts, I'm starting to think about plans to harass them again this year. I'm wondering how far upstream they typically get? Like lots (most?) around, I've focussed my efforts around Fletcher's, and I've never gone any further upstream than the Chain Bridge. 

I was wondering if it's worth taking a shot up near Carderock/the Billy Goat trail, but I really have no idea if they make it that far upstream. Has anyone tried that far up?
