When Shad Arrive in the Sacramento and Best Times to Fish
Towards the middle of May the shad are in the valley rivers. The shad run will be in full swing by Memorial Day weekend, through most of June and there will be fish in the valley river systems until September.Typically shad move into the lower Sacramento in April but do not move up above the Freeport reach until the raised water flows.
Water Conditions to watch for
The problem in recent years is the low water flow. Shad do not do well moving up river at vertical drops. They tend to stack up below fish ladders and other similar obstacles. The conclusion is that due to low water, the base of rapids will produce most of the local shad action.A general rule is that in low water years the Sacramento River will get the bulk of the run. The fishing will be slow on the Yuba or the Feather near Oroville, unless Feather River flows increase. As always if you go out to fish for shad be prepared with a number of alternate destinations in mind.
