That's a great guide AJ thanks!

Yup good stuff Aaron.. not that you were answering my question but I was personally looking for the flat stuff to see if I can make some skinnier flies, my theory is the less shot/putty i have on the line the few potential dead spots that might cause a missed strike...my flies are kind of all over the place right now with no real systematic approach to weighting them so I have been rethinking the flies and the leaders. When I do Czech nymph(I have not tried long lines yet but looking forward to the video to see what its all about) I have been getting away with my 9ft scott g series and a 4x level leader about 10ft long with a 5x or 6x bottom section if I am using really small stuff...I do throw a shot on if need be here and there.
I guess I am not one to follow the "rules" per se, I am re-thinking my approach(new rod on order as of this morning, new flies being made, and new leaders gonna be tied but it will all end up being a mish mash of what ends up working for me. I just think putting shot/putty creats a potential dead spot...depending on placement
Actually one technique I use a lot is a bounce nymph technique which if i am indi nymphing puts the shot at the end of the leader so anything that moves the indicator will be seen ..the fly or flies are added as droppers 18 inches apart...actually a very very effective technique and limits lost flies due to snags..used to use it alot at the Housy.

Yea! That river is a flippin fly eating machine and if your fishing from the bank any missed strike or fish coming unpinned puts you instantly into the veg.

[SherpaB]

it is...the bounce rig is pretty cool if you dont know about it its worth a try...

The Jan Siman flat lead is good. Flytyingspecialties.com and Wflies.com carries it. I mainly use the medium and large.

I'm familliar with were it's illegal so I never tried it. But I am familliar with the rig set up.

I just started using the flat lead from wflies. I like the way I can taper the bodies of my caddis larva and the fact that they come out more streamlined than the ones I had been tying with round wire. Don't forget get about the free shipping bonus that Wingaersheek flies offers with the "TPO" coupon code.
