Shad Reports from the Man who knows ShadMark Binsted has been fishing the Potomac River for its many resident and migratory species for the better part of six decades. In that time he has developed an astounding knowledge of America's "Founding Fish", the American and Hickory Shad. These amazing migratory fish return to the Potomac River each spring to spawn and with their arrival comes the beginning of fishing season.
For almost a decade, Mark has shared his first-hand knowledge of this amazing fishery with NCC-TU members and subscribers to the "Shad Report". A collection of in-depth reports on the status of the shad run, various musings about the beauty of the wildest urban river in America, and a whole lot of information on how to catch these wild anadramous fish. Interested in shad fishing in the Potomac, or shad fishing in general? The Shad Report is something no angler in the DC area should miss. The Shad Report has moved to our partners at Friend's of Fletcher's Cove. In order to view previous shad reports, please visit our Shad Report Archives Page.
