One, if not both of my mids have tungsten beads. (2.0 - 3.0mm) Gotta get them quickly into the zone and tight to my indicator.

Our current haunt had roughly a 50% hookup rate, and then the swivels were removed. Things changed after that....

I started with a kayak, and fished any way I could. Anchored, trolling, etc. Once i got fishing from a pontoon, a Garmin striker 4+ was the first addition. Game changer. Lake topo maps also will give you a clue as to where to start on a lake. Finding fish, depth, water temp....all adds up...

wait until aug/sept, and then drive upriver...

If there isnt a slight wind-riffle to keep my indicator moving, i'll twitch it. Jiggling it is important...

tie knots in the anchor parachord every 5'

Water 51F, depth 24' Just me and a buddy on the lake. Throat pump'd. #18 Chironomids. Burgundy bead, asb over brown....all day long. Several times fish would take the mids on the fall as we were pegging bobbers. Hand-lined them in. Eventually we ditched the bobbers. Took too long. We just...

im older and cheaper. I get the $15 (maxcatch) lines off Amazon, clean and treat them w mucelin during ice-over. I primarily fish my 10' 4wt, with a 5wt line on it. My current line is on season 5....

my scud accidentally @sshooked a water rat at rocky ford. had to break her off. one tough rat. pissed i lost my scud..... I hate foul-hooking fish.

After the leader is connected to the fly line (loop to loop), I slide my peg on, then the bobber, and attach the swivel...at the business end of the leader. Its all loose in the baggie. This past friday we started fishing out in 20'-22', but as the water warmed, fish were in 10'. Hacked most...

@Buzzy. That fly was retired after 3 fish, on a N Central WA lake. One of those epic days you recount around the campfire. When lakes are covered with ice, I fill my stillwater boxes and tie up about 2doz stillwater leaders, ranging 15'-25'. That lasts me the season. I mark the overall...

This, for me, turns over pretty well, when a cast is needed. Seaguar Flourocarbon 6' of each....12#, 10#, 8#, swivel, 2' 5x flouro tippet....mid. I'll lengthen the 12# section if needing to fish deeper than 20' before rolling up and putting in a baggie, I add a hang marker (bobber stop), and a...

Great views last weekend between cold winds and warm sunshine. Difficult fishing, but found a few healthy players...this one dining on mostly #22 chrome/green/brown chironomids. Bugs and birds were on the water by 8am. Water between 48-50F. Blobs worked as well, later.

I use those E-Z Trout floats all the time. Grab a frosty bev, sit down and glue'em. A bag will last a few seasons. I'll gently peg the bottom so it all doesnt end up below the swivel, and keep the loop under the top of the peg. Works for me...

Cant get enough of these guys... Kinda reminds me of young Ozzy

Good on ya for cleanin up...I hate lazy fkrs. ...guess your karma reward is a nice tie-fast tool

^^^ will work if youre in water shallower than the length of your rod. I use these, and just glue the slots.... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00BD571Y4?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2_dt_b_product_details

E/C Cutter Caddis Ice Cream Cone

colored heat shrink tubing. install at your own risk. hair dryer might be a wise choice.

I'll run this with my swivel maybe 2' above the bottom fly. That'll get your bobber closer for shallow waters. I'll even run the 2nd fly off the swivel (@ lower ring) sometimes.
