OK I know that this might be a bit early but I need to think ahead and plan accordingly.
Does any one have expirience with fly fishing for american shad during the spring run.

I went after them once long time ago with the spinning gear and did not had much luck.

I am interested in fly patterns but mostly in fishing methods - lines, depths presentations etc.

I have a small boat so fishing from the bank or boat in not an issue.

I'm only about 45 minutes driving from two differnt spots on Delaware river.

Trout season and shad run happen at the same time here and I was going for trout since it was more convinint for me but this year I would like to land few shad.

Thanks in advance.
