[font "Arial"][size 2]The upper and lower Roanoke river are define as followed: From the 258 bridge down river to the sound is the lower and up river is from the bridge to the dam.
I fish the lower river a lot more than the upper river. So I am not to sure about places to fish from the bank up river. I do know that pepole fish from the bank up river near Weldon. It might not be a good idea to try to wade up river, strong currents, muddy water and cool water are just a few of the dangers in the whole river. If the water was not flowing fast you might could wade out a little up by the dam.
The shad arrive in early March most years. River level and water temp. has a lot to do with when they come. I have a site on the lower Roanoke River and will be giving reports of the fishing. [url "http://beachfishing.tripod.com"]http://beachfishing.tripod.com[/url][/size][/font]
