You didn't miss it. In fact, I'm heading down this weekend to do the same thing. Weather forecast looks good, unlike the nightmarish Memorial Day weekend two weeks ago when it rained HARD the whole time.

Do a search here using shad as your key word and you should find all of the info you need on techniques, tackle, locations etc.

Bottom line - Look for all of the people fishing from the rocks below Bonneville dam on the WA side, find an open spot, and join the fun! Historically this is the peak week of the run.
