Hey Alan,

As a matter of fact, I caught my first
shad on a fly on one of Al's crappie candies. I personally use the crappie
candy on a floating fly line and just watch
the line tip as an indicator. I let it drop
to the desired depth and then slowly work it
back up through the desired zone. Then I
let it drop again. Often the take is on
the drop. My fish like a hot pink wing on
it. Real attention getter.*G* Warm regards, Jim
