gerri,

The C&R laws are still in place for shad although I've seen folks, especially upstream of Chain Bridge on the VA side, netting some for the pot. Both hickory and white shad are a blast to catch on a flyrod; hook a 5lb white on a 6wt and you'll never think of shad as baitfish again.

Regards,
