Weird shad numbers

[Kfish]

WA side has a lot more back cast room but the fish tend to be further out. You need a VERY fast sinking line. Oregon side (from the island), fish are in closer but you need to be very good at shooting line out from a roll cast.

Been a very long time since I've fished either from the bank, but fly rods are do-able if you're prepared and capable.

I have 7wt S9, would that suffice?

Maaaaaaaaaaaaybe. Depends on how hard the water is running. It's not been high flow lately so that would make it easier to get down, but the shad don't hold in as close.

WA side I recently used a 4 wt 2 hander, Skagit with 10 feet of T14 and got into Shad with small brass dumbbell eye flies
