Wade Fishing for Shad in Fredericksburg, Virginia typically occurs in the month of April.  Hickory and American shad had make their way from the bay to their birthplace and spawning ground during this time. Shad are an anadromous species of fish - living in salt water, but spawning in fresh water.  Because shad cannot move past the fall line, the Route 1 Bridge on the Rappahannock River is the perfect place to slay the shad.  Half-day tours are 4 hours of Fly Fishing fun.  Full-day trips last more than 4 hours, typically 6 to 8  hours of fishing and include lunch.  The Rappahannock is also an excellent place to practice your distance casting on the fly rod.  Our guide for shad, Captain Wayne Stinnette,  has 20 years experience Fly fishing for Shad.  Contact us asap to book a trip shad fishing this April.

Equipment is included (including waders) or clients may elect to bring their own.

Captain Wayne Stinnette is a licensed Coast Guard Charter Captain with a Master 100 Ton license. He is also a Certified Casting Instructor with the International Federation of Fly Fisherman.
