{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Spring perch run

I am attempting to figure out the Yellow Perch run this year after meeting Shawn Kimbro and reading his book Chesapeake Panfish. I've tried twice so far this year, unsuccessfully, but with the warm weather I think this is the week that it turns on. There is a tactic called "float and fly" where you put a shad dart (essentially) 2-4 feet below a bobber on a spinning rod and work it back to you with short twitches to give the fly a jigging motion. Fly fishing for them is tough just because the shore fishing is in pretty wooded areas, but there's no reason it wouldn't work - I bet a woolly bugger would slay em too. A lot of the people who fish for them use live minnows too. Anyway, I'm looking forward to getting a few to eat as well, they're supposed to be delicious.
