Shad eat zooplankton ... not flies but if you catch some let me know!!
Anybody ever fly fish for shad? A month or so and we should be seeing them here, hoping to get in a little fish`n time for them.............
Tying some pink Clousers , and plan to tie some kind of shad "dart"............what do you use?

I was thinking of threadfin not gizzard but thats cool no doubt. Good looking bugs .. i love my shad patterns , they have caught me more 30+ inch browns on the fly rod then any other bait combined
Catch and release, right?
I guess im unfamiliar with those species we have neither here. And if your asking if my browns are catch and release then yes , absolutely yes, always. And yea for trout when the shad kill occurs or for spring time whites/wipers/stripers
