Jeff Ching’s Bloody Maria is a must-have when flying fishing (even spinning rigs have adapted to using these flies) on the west coast for Shad. Its smaller than average size accompanies the small mouths of the shad while the offset shank help hookset in different directions. JC's Bloody Maria, designed in Sacramento's American River, is the catalyst to many new modern shad fly patterns that result in grab after grab.
