Hi guys: I’m looking for a fly pattern for shad in the South Carolina/Georgia fishery. I’ve found several that work up north, but our local shad might want something different. Any suggestions are welcome.

#6 hook, medium lead dumbell eyes, and any color as long as it’s chartreuse.
Something like this…
Pillage and plunder with a 9wt and a fist full of clousers.
but chartruese… 
ScottyD taught me to put a heavy (read HEAVY) fly on then tie in about 18" of leader to the bend and tie in a size 6 fly and they will hit the back one… the front one is to get and keep your fly down… Good Luck… Gonna try and hit them this week myself

sink tips lines help tremendously. my non fishing friends laugh like hell when i use the word “chartreuse”. ha! i usually throw a 225-350gr depending on water flow.
I second all the above. Use a sinking line and two flies. I just use two of the same fly like in the pic above. This setup worked last weekend. Those fish aren’t rocket scientists…

Thanks for the advice! I had a go at tying some this morning. Think that they will catch a shad?
Shad will eat those just fine. nice work oc
Hey Scottie. Did you ever fish that shad fly I gave at the landing. The day I met you and Jeremy at the landing. That one has been true blue for me.
