Book Description
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. This practical guide for taking this popular game fish on fly or lure is completely up-to- date and covers the latest developments in fishery and equipment. Includes patterns for 176 shad flies.
