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.

Easy to fish a fly. No real casting involved. Since you use a shooting
head to a mono running line (I use Amnesia), you need the fly down on the
bottom. Flip the line out a ways and work it out along the seam.

Thanks for the advice. I might just be able to get out this weekend. If
I do, I'll give it a go.
