May and June are prime months for Shad fishing on the Umpqua and Siuslaw Rivers in Oregon. The Umpqua gets a very reliable run around Elkton and the Yellow Creek area. In this video Tony Torrence demonstrates how to tie a proven Shad Dart. Other colors and densities can be utilized but the basic “dart” style is very effective for Shad.–CD

you should shorten the name to “shart.”
are you selling these? can you make on a 6 hook? different colors?
Do you sell these shad darts (shad fly)? I would like to buy some shad flies to try here on the east coast. They are not popular here. We use mostly flutter spoons.
Thank you, Lynn Mickey
