One thing I've noticed the last couple of years is that the Shad definately are feeding. The one's in the American are gorging themselves on the abundant supply of Caddis Pupa. Fishing Rossmore, you could do a little San Juan Shuffle and the Shad would come right to your feet scarfing up the pupa. I don't target Shad, but they sure like to get in the way when fishing for 1/2 pounders. Beadhead Fox Poopah's, tan and olive and Fox Poopah emergers are extremely effective! It's hard to get a 1/2 pounder to hit your fly when there are Shad in the area, the !/2 pounders don't get a chance, the Shad seemed much quicker to the fly.
