Is this a command? Are you telling us that we need to shad fish the Delaware on our fly rods? What if I don't have the right weight, do I need to buy one?

I was poking fun, but also curious because I didn't understand the point of your post....

Now I see you've added more to it. It makes sense now.

I sold a 6wt line to fellow forum member AFISHN last year late winter. His plan was to use it for Shad on the lower Delaware. I wanted to ask how he made out but have not seen him on here since. Stop in and let us know if you are around sir.

I have caught them on spinning gear late summer on the middle Delaware river and it was a blast. Ripping drag like a good smallmouth

broke the ice with my first shad's of this season today. tough fishing with a rising river and lots of debris.
picked up two bucks in the first half hour of trying and then an hour without a fish and having debris on the darts on every cast sent me home. i'll be back.

Thanks for the post. I haven't fished for shad on the fly in years, but they are a lot of fun.
