Sorry , Tony - I meant I recall READING about it . My mistake !!

Maybe the smaller flies work better on the American due to the very clear water. I've only fished the American a few times and did find they preferred something smaller. On the Sac I still use the original Mustad 3908 chrome shad hook in size 4. Chain eyes, orange head, pink body. And yes it works very well. I had a 100 fish day on Thursday. It has been my understanding the shad bite out of aggression, not that they are feeding.

I am curious. What is the smallest fly that someone has used to catch or try to catch Shad on? Jeff C's patterns are appox. #10.
Has anyone tried small to the extreme, ie midge sized?
