An unlimited Hickory Shad catch in  Virginia waters unnecessarily puts at risk this historic run of the species.  Washington D.C. Potomac waters is catch and release only to preserve this great sport fish.  Please put a reasonable limit on Hickory Shad for recreational catch that preserves and grows the Hickory Shad population and migration for generations to come.

Ensure the poor man's Tarpon catch thrill is preserved for all to experience.
