We will tie shad flies at March Beer Tie. 

My shad flies all have YouTube tutorials or online step by step instructions.

thanks i will look into the damsel pattern,  i was thinking also about tying a shad dart type on a trout magnet head as a lead fly.

Nothing too crazy or complicated, tandem rig, my lead fly is usual a size 4 or 6 streamer hook with a marabou tail and estaz body with bead chain eyes. Chartruese or pink typically. Followed by an Rob Snowhite Damsel. The key is the sinking fly line to get the flies deep.

Shad puff and Rob Snowhite's Damsel fly nymph are a killer tandem for the spring run

I hit the shad run for the first time at fletcher's last year using conventional gear,  but would love to try it with the long rod.  Since everything is frozen I figured i would spend some quality time at the bench getting ready for spring.  Does anyone have some favorite shad patterns they would share?
