Trout Unlimited NCC Shad Night 2023 (Online)

February 22, 2023 @ 7:30 pm 9:00 pm

The warm start to the new year is setting meteorological records and fueling intense anticipation for the springtime shad run. As you count down the days until the first strike, here’s an annual celebration not to be missed! National Capitol Chapter-Trout Unlimited Shad Night returns and will once again be online this year

Special guests are biologists at the Maryland Department of Natural Resources. Matt Jargowsky will provide updates on the health of the fishery and on shad fishing opportunities across the state. Jim Thompson will discuss his work with the Fish Passage Program at DNR, highlighting the encouraging progress on the Patapsco river, where three dams have been removed since 2010. Shad dart and fly demonstrations will be offered by Jamie Gold and Jack Tanner. Also, John Kuriawa will be on hand to share his wisdom. A brief review of last year’s Potomac shad run will focus on the best stories from our NCC-TU Shad Reports, and we will honor the 50th anniversary of a special catch at Fletcher’s Cove. All participants will be available for questions via the chat box. Event details TBD.
