Join RIO's Advisory Team members Brian Chan and Phil Rowley as they share some of the top tips they use when fishing sinking lines while stillwater fly fishing
I love these lines. Caught so many fish just using the hanger and plus with the in-touch technology, I can feel every little bump when the fish takes it way down deep. Thanks rio!
Hi guys i am new to fly fishing i want to target carp in the still water and i want to know if you can use a sinking line a short leader to detect bites maybe with a floating fake prawn on could i use a split lead shot so far down from the hook ?i would use a fly but i fish at a commercial fisheries and the don't like flies i have tried some bugs and not even a take i put some bread on bite within 10 mins i think i will catch on the bottom in the margins or maybe a corn fly or the deer hair stuff i am not exactly fly fishing and i might get some stick on here but i don't care fishing is FISHING .
+superhunter992 Carp are notoriously hard to catch on a fly, though a few people do by using small imitative nymphs. I have caught a few on nymphs, sight fishing to them, and watching them eat the fly. Also, more popular is to get them feeding on bread, and then cast a bread fly imitation. All that is good if you want to catch them on the top, and it is visible. If not, and you want to get deep as you describe, a sinking line, with a short leader (only 1 foot or so) would work very well indeed.
The easiest way is to take red tying silk, and whip a marker on to the line where you want it, then cover it a flexible urethane type glue, and roll between two kitchen knife blades to keep it round and smooth...

I'm curious how you attach a "Hang Mark" to your fly line. Any help here?
can't believe this question has not been answered yet. :/ i am also searching my life for this tip over the internet...

language barrier got me here. any videos? thanks for replying tho.
Nothing we have made yet... sorry :(
So is sinking line a must for lakes?
Absolutely - if you want to be covered for all conditions and seasons.
Or u can just hang flies from an indicator and hammer them.....
You can certainly use an indicator, but sometimes different presentations work more effectively.
Painful to watch
LOL, this is from 2013? it looks like its from the 90's!!! this information has been out for decades.
