This guy is fishing on top for Shad on the Feather River:

the run has peaked but it is still worthwhile. took about 40 last night with many hens around 5 pounds. don't know if anyone has tried the floating fly on a sinking head but it was a blast. fished small foam hoppers on a type 4. strip strip to shoot the fly beneath the surface, followed by big swirls. the big shad would swirl behind the diving hopper and kabloosh, big shemale. when you are in the slot you should break out the diving bugs. it is a hoot. remoxie
