Shad dart
Heavy Deep Shad Dart
Deep current dart
ShadDeep
The dedicated depth tool: more weight to reach fish that will not rise to a lighter swung fly. Fast current, cold water or high conditions that push fish low.
Fish this when
Fast current, deep migration lanes, fish holding at depth. Cold or high water. When lighter darts are swinging too high in the column.
Why it works
Extra weight defeats the current and gets the fly to the fish. The same trigger logic as any dart, delivered at the right depth.
