Went out to Sailor Bar on Wednesday late afternoon. Didn't get any hits nymphing. Two groups of guys were catching shad fairly often skipping poppers over the surface very fast.
Surface activity began with sunset and soon the shad were breaking surface like crazy in 2-3 of water all around me. I switched to a dry fly on floating line but couldn't get any interest in a #12 caddis.
I've never seen that much surface activity, especially in such shallow water. Am wondering if it was spawning activity and that expains my failure to catch. Looking for any excuse. ;)
Anyone have an opinion?
