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.
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!
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
Great explanation of all the different methods. Thanks guys
No worries! If you have anymore questions on lake techniques for winter feel free t reach out to the store!

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?
