Are these gizzard shad? They will pool in those eddies near the "helipad". They don't seem to bite anything, but you can feel your fly/dart hitting their backs. I used to think they were Hickories, but I am pretty sure they are gizzard shad (and a tad on the slimy side compared to hickories). I snagged one this morning at Fletchers.

I had a similar experience on Friday evening in that same spot, with a slightly lower foul hook ratio. Slowing down my retrieve helped a lot. I think it comes with the territory at Big Eddy., especially at this stage of the run.
