We had a great time fly fishing and spending time in the mountains of Pennsylvania. We caught lots of fish, made some great memories and encountered a rattle snake. It was during the Slate Drake hatch, most fish were caught using nymphs. Some fish were willing to take a dry.

Although it was likely stoc...

      Hi Corey, thanks for watching. It depends if I'm fishing dry flies or nymphing. For dries I was using a 7ft 5x tapered leader. For nymphing I was essentially using the same thing but at the end of the leader I add a split shot then have the nymphs tied off of little tags above the split shot.
