I'm not an expert. But, I use 8lb braid on my main line (floats and casts better for me) to a three way swivel. Then 6lb florocarbon to the fly. The third point on the swivel is where I hook the bobber. Where are you staying at Dale? I would use duck feather flys. Check at the One Stop, they have a good supply. The latest I've heard is fishing seconday creek points and then back in the hollows staying away from the bank. That's the same thing I found at Tims a few weeks ago. Bottom line is find the shad and you will find the fish in the near vicinity. Let us know how you do.

Blessings,
