Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Fly lines for shad

Agree with Doug, at least on the DC/MD side.  Have not fished from the VA side so it may be different. 

From a boat full sink no question.  But, from the rocks I've found it difficult to find a spot where a full sink does not drape over the rocks before the deeper channel.

I keep a full sink with me, but rarely use it.

Best success and least frustration has been with either a floating line with an 8-15 foot sink tip or an intermediate with a sink 3 tip.  Slower sink especially in very slow current gives you time to work the fly.

I find alot of this, frankly, is dictated by when you fish and how many people are there.

I'd go for sink tip if you're rockhopping, full sink has a nasty tendency to get tangled on the bottom a LOT.

Just curious as to what kind of fly line is best for shad? Any particular preference between sink tip or full sink in fishing situations like rock hopping around fletchers cove?
