{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

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Carry rods on a plane

Id like to report that Bluegrass Parkway airport and regan did no cuase any issues.  Nor did Delta.  One of the flight attendants actually took my rods for me.  And at the end of the flight asked how i liked my Syndicate rod as she had one in the mail headed to her house.  First time ive had a girl offer her number, maybe i need to carry rods around more often. haha.  The things that happen on planes.

Thanks,

Dan Barrett

Many moons ago, circa 1984, during a a few months between jobs, I drove for a livery service in NJ. One of my "regulars" was a heavy hitter at an Exxon R&D facility.  I remember picking him and his family up at Newark one evening to take them home after their trip to Atlanta. They recounted to me that when their daughter's carry-on went through the scanner at Hartsfield Airport in Atlanta it set off all sorts of alarms and screams of "There's a baby in the bag! There's a baby in the bag!" 

Upon closer examination it was determined that the "baby" was a Cabbage Patch doll recently purchased at Bablyland General Hospital in Georgia. I can only imagine what might transpire at an airport nowadays.
