how many miles a week shad will go up the river?
Where you trying to fish for them? Is it a little early for them to be behind Blewett

Mid April thru mid May they will be behind Blewett and is probably your best bet.
Do you mean Shad is up at Cheraw now? Water is flowing in Pee Dee river from Blewett to Society Hill, not high though. Maybe due to new agreement during re-licensing?Quote:

The new agreement does help. In comparison, Catawba below Lake Wylie has no flow, riverbed exposed at many locations.
