hi I miss you so much uncle dave

[@michaelbeck3963]

Love your vids ! Just wondering if you do more vids will you explain a bit in depth on setting up a spey rod line weight leaders and tippets combos that help really add distance and getting the line to lay over properly . Perhaps just a bit more on the technical
Side of figuring out how to tweak it to make it work a bit better than just manufactured specs.

[@CooperLandingFishingGuide]

Absolutely! That's a great idea! Thank you for the support :)

Dave, got a question. I notice your King Salmon Intruder has no weight which is very contrary to the norm. How do you know if your getting deep enough, especially in faster flows? Are you using T 18? Thinking about my upcoming trip for Kings on the Kasilof River.

[@CooperLandingFishingGuide]

Hey Mike! I tend not to use much weight on flies that I use relatively short leaders on (usually 3-4 feet of straight mono leader material for Kings). This helps the fly stay down at the level of the end of the sink tip. On the Kasilof, I'm usually using T-14 at the light end then all the way up to T-17, 18 or even 20.. sometimes 15' sink tips as well. So if I use unweighted flies, generally short leaders, weighted flies, maybe a bit longer. See you soon!
