Eric Roach will discuss fishing for American shad in the final event in our Fish On! Andover series.

Eric Roach has been fishing for American shad in the Merrimack River for over 25 years. He fishes solely from shore using spinning and fly-fishing gear. Some seasons he lands over 1,000 shad. He loves learning and sharing knowledge about shad and enjoys helping new shad anglers become proficient. Eric also serves an Advisory Panel member on the ASMFC’s Shad & River Herring management board.  

This presentation will primarily cover American shad behavior and the knowledge needed to target them with spinning and fly-fishing gear in the Merrimack River. Other American shad rivers in Massachusetts (and throughout New England) will also be covered. 

The Fish On! series takes place annually on Tuesday evenings in February. Please note that event on 2/13 has been rescheduled to 3/12 due to expected inclement weather.

Fishing videos will air beginning at 6:30pm. Join us for discussion and raffles. Eric's presentation will start at 7:00pm.

The Fish On! series is sponsored by the Friends of Memorial Hall Library
