the tar river, in pitt county,
greenville, nc. the name of the river dates back centuries to the pine
forest pitch trade in this area. it's a long river that bleeds its brown
flow into the pamlico river, which goes to the pamlico sound.

McIntosh offers----nice report friend---don"t know if I will be able to join
you this spring for a shad fishery but plan to kayak on Black River this
weekend and throw a few darts
Anyone who enjoys John McPhee and wants to know all about shad will enjoy
his book- The Founding Fish
Wolfgang you would enjoy the chapter on Cooking Shad---Chop the ends off a
lemon, render it hexapartite
