Small Silver Wet Fly

High-water light option
ShadSurface

A light, subtle upper-water option for shad moving or flashing near the surface. Use only when fish are visibly high — searching the surface blind is rarely productive.

Fish this when

Fish are showing high, flashing or moving in the upper layers. Evening tides. Clear river margins in low or moderate flows.

Why it works

A small unweighted silver wet fly rides high without a dart profile — softer and less aggressive than a dart for fish that are near the surface.
