{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: I'll pass on shad this year I believe

Another shot.  This was the hardest-fighting fish I've ever hooked on fly tackle.  I think I've hooked one larger on a different fly rod that broke me off, but this one had more zest.   The water was deeper than I like at this spot, so I had nowhere to beach him and no net.  I had to bear hug him and get him onto the bank ;).  That was after he ran almost out of sight 3 times!

I'd like to make a trip this season, but it's looking too difficult.  Luckily, there are alternatives ;).
