Please join us for a discussion of fishing the exciting spring-run of American Shad in the Merrimack River.  The focus of the presentation will be on fishing the lower Merrimack, from Essex Dam in Lawrence to the mouth of the river.  Topics will include specific locations to fish; times to fish; rod/reel/line choices; lures to use; presentation, techniques, and other important shad-fishing nuances.
Come learn about this incredible world-class fishery, right here in eastern Massachusetts.

The presenter is Eric Roach, who has 18 years of experience fishing for spring-run shad.  A regular at Rocks Village, he has spent countless hours unlocking the secrets of the lower Merrimack.  He loves to share his knowledge with other shad anglers and will surely offer you something to help improve your success this spring.
