Shad Spots That Do Not Require Rock Hopping?

[Mark Sauter]

I'm probably not the only fly angler whose back rebels at the rock hopping required upstream of Fletcher's.

Does anyone have ideas on wading spots (in addition to the Deer Creek-area and anywhere from VA to Delaware) for shad that can be accessed without rock hopping. Hiking in is fine and perhaps even preferable -- just need spots that do not require getting across large rocks to reach casting distance.

Thanks and tight lines!

Wait for the boathouse to open and rent a boat.  You have to row, but it's much safer than that wading and rock hopping.

I've caught them from the walk by the launch at occoquan regional park.  There are no fishing signs there now but only once has anyone ever bothered me for fishing there. It was just some lady so I showed her my fishing license and told her I'm allowed to fish there... she totally bought it...

Thanks,

Jeff
