    Well, I've tied up about 30 different prototypes that I'm just not liking. Although, I've now stocked up with more weird materials than I've ever had before. Anybody need fluorescent stretch lace??? I think I may have finally come to grips with something I can live with, so it'll be a couple more days before they're done.

    The nice thing is, and I was reminded of this yesterday, "Don't overthink a shad fly."

    I have yet to find any shad, so it looks like by the time I have all the flies we should be right in the beginning of what will hopefully be a great year for shad.
    So long and thanks for all the fish!!!

    Shad are here, Guppy caught the first one last night that I know of. I received some sweet green shad flies today from jburge. Looks like I timed this fly swap good. Once I get all the flies I will take a photo of each one and post a pic, then off to the post office I go.

    Thanks for the extras John, I am real tempted to use one of them today after work on my little bluegill pond before I go to school.

    My flies are done, they are real sparkly. Look more like pink jewelry for a teenage girl, but I think the shad will like it as well.

    Got some wet pinkies in the mail from Hairstacker today, a classic that has proven itself time and time again.

    Only 5 more sets to come it.

    I received jholmesjr flies last night, and these are almost the same fly as what I caught my hen on the other night. So these are keepers for sure.
