i just ordered an intermediate and full sinking line (cheap versions) to go with my expensive floating line. thank you! I will seek to purchase from your store from now on especially flies as a big thank you for this content.
Mickey used the Redington Field Kit for the floating line, a Loop 7X 11' 4wt Switch rod for the intermediate line and a Loop Evotec 9' 7wt rod for the fast sinking line
What was your leader on the triple density? I have the 6wt in that line already for salt, but never tried for fish in lakes. You also said you used mono with the intermediate, why not fluoro? Thanks!!!
Great question! The leader for the triple-density line is the same as the intermediate line. The reason for the switch back to mono from fluoro is to have a thicker diameter line to turn over heavier flies, the intermediate and fast sink lines take care of the flies dropping to the correct depth. Cheers
Hi! So it depends if your anchored (spot-lock) or drifting in the current. If your anchored cast across and up the current and feed-mend line into the system until it 'swings' past your boat and then start a short sharp retrieve with long pause between. The current will keep you in contact with your fly and give it movement between "wake up strips". If you drifting cast towards you drift direction and keep in contact with your flies as best you can, anchored is easier in some ways. Cheers!
This video is top notch, well done and keep them up!

Awesome, we all appreciate it! Sinking lines are a great tool to have in your quiver for all sorts of fishing situations.
I learnt so much from this. Thanks for giving away your secrets Mickey! PS please tell Pat to check his fax machine
Any secrets I have are always only a question away haha! Pat's getting slack on the fax I'll gee him up, cheers! Mickey

Whats your recommendation on getting a fly pattern down from 15 to 20 feet and current in a boat

@TomsOutdoorsFlyFishing thank you, what would be the best sink tip for this depth?
