Sinking fly lines are not commonly used in our waters despite their many advantages. There’s this assumption that they’re difficult to use as it is assumed that they don’t come out of the water easily. I have probably caught more fish on intermediate and full sink lines than on floaters, simply because the fly gets down to the fish and it stays at that depth. The closer we can get our fly to the fish, the better our odds. I have even fished nymphs using these lines with a ’straight line’ method.

In my presentation we’ll go through the types of full sink lines out there and what kinds are best for our waters. We’ll also look at how to fish and how to cast them. Hopefully this season you’ll add a full sink line to your fishing arsenal.
