Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Shad from Shore Tips

I've personally never had success from shore, mainly because I rarely fish from shore. I tried a couple times a couple years ago, but got fed up by too many snags. Now I typically just rent a rowboat from Fletchers. I do know that you'll need to go either upstream or downstream from Fletchers, rather than fishing from shore in the cove itself. I do highly recommend getting a sinking line though. The shad are typically down too deep for a floating line in this stretch of water.

I am going to try to catch my first shad ever this coming weekend. I don't really know much about it other than reading from the forum. I am planning on fishing from shore at fletchers. I have never been to fletchers either. I am going to tie some shad darts this week in pink and chartreuse. I currently only have a floating line unfortunately and hopefully that wont hinder my ability to catch a shad!

Any tips or tricks would be much appreciated when it come to fishing from shore, I have never fished in the Potomac before and will get my DC license from fletchers as well.

 

thanks!

Davis
