Oregon - Columbia River
As more than 4 million shad stage for their annual upstream spawning run, the 4 miles below Bonneville Dam offer the best seats for the biggest parade in the West. The first rush over the Bonneville fish ladders has them paving the river below the dam. Both sides of the river have access. Oregon anglers can start by casting shad darts at Bradford Island.
