Howdy all,

I had a great day on the river a few weeks back, but haven't had the time to return.  I'm curious if anyone has been down to the Potomac recently and had continued luck with shad.

Thanks!

Bill S.

I did pretty well last Tuesday with Hickories despite the cold water, and heard good reports from the weekend--lots of Americans. The perch have also shown up and will take your shad flies. Get out there!

Hammered them on Sunday.  Every 2nd or 3rd cast.  Got worn out by lunch time.

Great news! Headed to Fletcher's tomorrow around lunchtime for a "personal issue that may take all afternoon."

Was there yesterday with a crowd of Shad experts -- Mike Bailey and Mike Alper there too, etc.  They were all over the place with Americans about 10% of whole in slack water at north end of cove.  Who knows what today's late rain will do??
