Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Shad

A friend and I were out at Fletchers last night. River was still very high, muddy, and fast. Much of the trail we walked over the weekend was flooded.

There were a bunch of people fishing in the side creek, near the boat dock, and someone was pulling in a fish every few minutes. The shad must've been hanging there while the river was high.

How long they are going to stay in Fletchers Cove? 1 week? 2 weeks?

Like someone else mentioned, the best way to catch Americans is to fish slow and deep.  I barely strip the line.  A few inches at a time with very long pauses in between.   I almost always catch fewer fish than other guys so you will probably sacrifice numbers for size.
