Abstract:
Native Americans and early colonists knew winter was ending when American shad arrived in Eastern Carolina rivers. However, this once plentiful fish has all but disappeared from the Roanoke River. Dams for flood control and electricity keep shad from going far up river to spawn. Water pollution could also be a problem with industries and municipalities discharging into the river. Biologists are seeking the solution that will return the shad to the Roanoke River in the twenty-first century.

Caught by the process of netting rather than angling, shad fishing is a sport of coastal and Piedmont North Carolinians. Standard equipment for shad fishing involves a bow net of two-inch mesh, a flashlight, mosquito repellant, and a gunny sack.
