Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Shad fishing

My normal set up for my 8 weight and 6 weight is heavy sink tip, 5 feet of 10-12lb fluro and tiny bass style metal spoons (the simple single hook, maybe 1/8" long, Walmart normally carries packs of 3 for a few bucks).  First cast, just strip in as it hits the water.  Every cast after that add a few second count before you start to strip.  Once you hit a fish, then you know you have the right depth.  I always struggle to find the first 2, then its game on.  Best of luck.

Thanks,

Hey fly rodders. I have been out a few times already for the shad run with no luck. I know I have to doing something wrong because I haven't even gotten a bite. If anyone have any tips on lures,  techniques or anything else I can do to catch some shad on the fly would really be appreciated. Thanks peeps
