Shad

First time fishing for shad. I manage to connect once, thanks to Bill, who gave me flies, tips, even his spot when he was catching them. Unfortunately I didn't land it, but I had plenty of opportunities to admire the fish he caught. The shad run is almost done for the year, I don't think I'll have the chance to fish for it again this summer. But it was a great learning experience. Thank you, Bill!






This is a little video with Bill landing a beautiful fish.

Great fish! What kind of flies did you used ?

I don't know the names, Bil gave me the flies, there were basically some clousers sparsely tied with either pink or chartreuse in them. I'll take a picture, cause I think I still have some.
