{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Can you use floating line to catch shad/stripers?

Jim, for a small cost you can buy a 15' sinking polyleader and attach it to the front of your floating line ( loop to loop ) and now you have a nice sink tip.  It will get you to the fish easier.   Also I have found as the water warms up ( now ) the shad  can be caught closer to the top.

 Hey guys,      

                   I have an Orvis 8wt. with WF floating line and I'm looking forward to coming back to  Arlington to get in on this shad and striper run. Can you catch stripers/shad on floating line or do I have to shell out the money to buy sinking line and a new spool to keep it on? 

                   Being a broke college student, buying a new spool/sinking line is obviously not ideal.  Any feedback would be appreciated.
