Summary

-- Practical guide for taking this popular game fish on fly or lure
-- Completely up-to-date, covers the latest developments in fishery and equipment
-- Patterns for 176 shad flies

Since Pfeiffer wrote his first book on shad twenty-five years ago, much has happened to improve the fishery. The fish has made a comeback and shad fishing along both the Atlantic and Pacific coasts continues to grow in popularity. Many fishermen launch the season by fishing in the early spring for shad. They've learned that shad make jolting strikes, long runs, hard fights, and high jumps. This complete guide covers the history and habits of shad and all the practical fishing on range, tackle for both fly fishing and spin fishing, and techniques for fishing on the shore and from a boat.

Author Biography

C. Boyd Pfeiffer has been shad fishing since his teen years, fishing the Susquehanna River and its tributary Deer Creek and working his way to the West Coast rivers. He is author of Fly Fishing Bass Basics and Fly Fishing Saltwater Basics and writes regularly for the major fly-fishing and fly-tying magazines. He lives in Bowie, Maryland
