Nope, just love to shad fish. Normally use Grass and Ghost Shrimp for
Sturgeon here in SF Bay area. Use an 8wt with Bill Adelman tied shad
flies. The 8 wt because the local stripers have a habit of hitting the
same flies at times.

American shad? Great fish on light tackle. Although I've never had much
luck with a fly, I could imagine they would be a handful. In the
Delaware, they are running pretty good right now.
