Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Shad flies

Shad flies are as easy and varied as you can imagine.  They’re also simple and easy to tweak and modify for your needs.

Most of us here at the shop like to use Steele’s Shad Fly or the Ultimate Shad pattern.  #6.  Choose your favorite color cone or bead head, pick a tail color, add some flash, and tie on a body color either contrasting or matching.  Don’t be afraid to play with colors.

Some days they’ll work better than anything anyone has on the river.  Other days they won’t even catch your or had or fishing buddy on a bad back cast.

Regards,

Subject: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Shad flies

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?
