Hi Jay, Thank You for the very nice videos! How do you know, when the fly is on the bottom? How do you identify the bite when you don't strip in? What line are you fishing? kind regards, Jannik :)
U usually feel the bottom when u strip in due to stones mussels etc. It helps if you know approximately how deep the water is u r fishing of course and you can count in your head how long u let the fly sink to adjust it. If u can't feel the bottom due to sand you can sometimes see it by the tip of the line that's floating on the surface and gives a small cringle when the fly or sink tip line touched the bottom. you usually just feel a pull in the line when they take the fly and if not u feel the fish with ur next strip ;)
Yes exactly and then u can retrieve it super slow over the bottom. The places where I fish it are weedless. But the material is protecting the hook point from catching weed and the legs are flexible so I don't think it's a prob 👍

Thank you! I will try :)
Do you cast it and let it sink to the bottom and leave it? What about weed? Good idea though👌
