  • Shad fishing on the Willamette River turned into invite for Sturgeon fishing later that evening. Met an avid fisherman who shows me how he catches the shark like looking dinosaurs with whole shad from the bank.

    This guy cuts slits in the bait before the half-hitches, that's actually brilliant.

    All it takes is one trip to Bonneville watching oversize sturgeon sucking shad off of people’s stringers to understand why that works so well. In the fast current on the big C we cut the gill plates off too.
