Grizzly, one of our old employees, who has fished for shad as much as anyone and longer than most, used to swear the shad were coming up and eating caddis on the river.
One year I paid attention late in the season and he was right. Only thing is the water has never been clear enough to really skate a dry and get the shad to chew it.
We threw a big Goddard caddis one year and had a fish blow up on it but never ate, and we weren’t sure it was a shad.

I know the sinking shad dart flies work, but I am not a huge fan, spinners are about the same. Is anyone using dry flies, the shad are eating a lot off of the top water?
