{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: What kind of setup for the Shad run at Fletchers?

I have fished a 6 wt for the past 30 yrs  perfect size shad rod In my opinion.  A must is a 250 gr depth charge line.   Its all about getting in the zone.  Once you find it " Look Out".  I have spent numerous days catching fish after fish and the boat next to me very few because they were using a floating line of a 10-15 ft sing tip.

Hi there TPFRs - new fly fisherman here.  I've spent the summer trying to figure things out with my 6-weight, and am now thinking ahead to the spring.  Will a 6-weight get the job done for shad, or do I need to add a new rod (7-weight? 8-weight?) to my collection?

Thanks,

Brian
