Default Shad are running in the Columbia!

I posted a fly on ABPF that is wrapped with a ton of lead substitute wire
and heavy eyes. Now tomorrow, I am heading out with my full sinking line (6
weight) and see if I can get it down to those buggers. They fight well on
fly gear, but not so impressive on 'regular' gear with 3-6 ounces of lead,
eh? Maybe use a downrigger with fly lines, would that be Kosher?

Last year, I did pretty well in shallow water with a sink tip and weighted
flies, but I remember that is was very overcast and evidently Shad run
shallower on overcast days.
