Does anybody have experience using sink-tip lines and weighted leaders? Is there a difference? I’m contemplating trying one or both to get down to the deeper holes yet still have natural nymph action. I don’t like rocks with fur and feathers attached.
I wouldn’t use a sink tip or a fast sink leader for deep nymphing, except on stillwater. Try using a really long tippet (NOT a tapered leader) below the indicator, assuming you use one. — visit my web site: http://home.earthlink.net/~royalwulff/

Charlie Brooks caught lots of big trout by deep nymphing with a full-sinking line. OTOH, he mentioned in one of his books that the technique isn’t very popular, even among those who have learned it well, because most fishermen don’t find it all that enjoyable. — Rusty Hook Laramie, Wyoming

My problem with it isn’t that it’s not enjoyable, Rusty. I’ll take an occasional big fish over "enjoyment" any time. My problem is that it’s much harder, if not impossible, to get a drag-free drift in moving water with a sink tip. In stillwater you usually want to put action on the nymph, so it’s not a problem. It seems to me like the best approach, if you want a drag free drift, is to use tippet all the way from the top to the bottom. BTW, I don’t claim to be any good at getting drag free drifts. I’m still learning, and probably always will be. P.S. I loved your retort to Phillipo.

Either will get you down to the deeper holes, but the sink tip line will be more difficult to mend. I generally use a 9 foot leader/tippet and split shot to get the nymph down. However, if you are talking deeper runs, a 12 foot leader might be a better choice. I try to keep as much line off (or in) the water as possible when nymphing – it gives a better drift and makes strikes easier to see. Dave

I think that it’s difficult to get a dead drift, if that’s what you’re after, in a stream or river using a sinking line. A sinking line is going to put lots of drag on the fly which can be useful for fishing streamers or in a FEW nymphing situations, but overall weight on the leader works better. Willi
Lots of good fishing on Bushkill Creek, but Ressica Falls is extra-special. Actually, there are a lot of Big and Little Bushkill Creeks in Pennsylvania; Ressica Falls is near 611 & 402. Ressica Falls is owned by the Liberty Council of the Boy Scouts of America, and a permit is required to fish there. Way worth it. The stream is as pretty as any you’ll find, the water as suited for trout as you could like, and the water is so well-stocked with nice trout that first time visitors are likely to be flabbergasted. Hatches are common in spring and summer, and can be quite abundant. Imagine standing in hemlock lined pool, fishing a riffle, with ten trout rising noisily all around you. Now imagine miles of stream just like that. Now imagine you’ve just hooked a 14" brown, and boy is he pissed. That’s Ressica Falls. Wednesday evening was quite warm. Once again, forgot to check the water temp, but was comfy while wading wet, until my pipe started rattling in my teeth, and I started shaking violently as soon as I stepped out to go home. ’Bout 55 degrees? Quill Gordon duns and spinners, as well as grannoms were out and about. a tan-colored fly was also laying eggs on the water, but I wasn’t able to get a good look. The trout were taking small brown imitations, quill gordens, henrysville, etc. As it got dark and I was forced to switch to lighter colored flies, hits became tougher to get. Also out in profusion were buffalo gnats. These are like the no-see-ums of the North, except that you can see them. In fact, you can rope ‘em and ride ‘em. You usually won’t get bitten by one; you’ll get bitten by 5 or 6. As a repellent, I recommend a burly pipe tobacco, as they are quite aggressive. The stream bed is rocky, with numerous pools and riffles, and it’s full of brookies, browns , and rainbows. Careful wading is important. The scenery is beautiful, and the entire experience is more than worth the modest permit fee. Two words of caution: first, pesky bears. Bothersome bears occasionally hassle folks in this area. Just don’t be afraid of them. Bears can smell fear, you know. Don’t poke them with a stick either; they really don’t like that, take my word for it. Chiggers – very common here. Any exposed skin can become home to those cuddly little burrowing mites, and I’ve got a red dot on the side of my knee to prove it. Jeez, I feel bad that I forgot to get the water temp for you. I’ll go back up this evening & do it right this time. That is, if I don’t forgot again, what with the trout rising all around me, bitey gnats nipping at my ears, tobacco fog all around my head, snarly bears trying to get my attention, minimites digging holes through me like a swiss cheese, and me with the wrong fly all tangled up around the tip of my rod.

Hi folks, I have been flyfishing for a year and would like to get a new rod. My budget is limited and I live in NJ. I trout fish in mostly smallish Northeast streams and rivers. I have decided on a 4wt rod, but not too sure of length or action. I hope this is enough info as I intended a concise post. Thanks
Last time I looked the Fenwick World Class series fell about into your price range. I’ve got a 5 wt. Royale I’ve been very happy with for many years. Not sure if the Royale series is still available though. I seem to recall that the World Class replaced the Royale some years ago. At any rate, I can tell no difference between them in terms of performance.

Action will come down to personal preference I think. Decide how you like the action of your current rod. A longer rod will help you do more things, but if by "smallish" you also mean "tightish", then come down a little on the length. Don’t get carried away though – under 7 1/2 feet or so the shorter length rods can actually be tougher to fish with on tight streams because you have less reach, and sometimes you really need to reach a little in tight places. I have a 7 1/2 foot 4 wt from LL Bean, Guide Series, now GQS?, that I really like. I’ve even loaded it with 5 wt. line for shorter casting and it works very nicely either way. Regards, Jeff
Seconded. I’m really quite fond of my DS2, even though mine is an 8′ 5-wt. If your casting style is anything like mine, you’ll do well with it.

Your cleaning method appears sound, but I would definitely do it by hand and stay away from any washing machine, no matter how "gentle" the cycle may be. Regards from Montreal John Brkich
I would second this recommendation….after trying some others. The only thing that I would add is that you can purchase a product specifically designed to clean neoprene waders (I forget which company makes it…Simms, I believe)…but I’ve just used liquid soap. I have a den with a bathroom/shower that is just off of the garage. When I come back from fishing, if I notice that my waders are getting a bit "foul", I put them in the shower for cleaning. By putting them on inside out, it’s easy to wash them and ensure that you’ve not skipped anything. In fact, when I do such a washing, I usually do both the inside and outside…then hang them in the den and over a large plastic bucket to catch water. It works well. Barry – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – Put them on inside out, and wash them in the shower. Neoprene is a closed cell foam, so the odor should just be on the surface. My neoprene waders are getting so funky even I don’t want to put them on anymore. Is there a way to wash them -the insides especially- and if so, what works the best? I was thinking of using Woolite and putting them on gentle cycle, but…..I’lll ask the experts first. pete
On the way home from a trip, I stop by a neighborhood do-it-yourself car wash. For $2 and 10 minutes I get clean waders (inside and out), clean felt on my wading boots, and no sand residue on the inside of the boots (which can wear the neoprene bootie).

One thing to look at when comparing brands is the foot. The type with the foot included as a single cut of material is more durable (and more expensive) than the type with the leg and foot cut as seperate pieces and then welded on. The first type has a single seam running down the front of the wader, around the foot and up the back (like a J split in half lengthwise). The second type has a double seam (like a crossed "t") at the front of the ankle and again at the back of the ankle where the feet and legs are joined, and are prone to leak at those junctures. They can make a lot more waders out of the same amount of material by cutting the foot and the leg as seperate pieces though, so they are cheaper. Orvis has a set of stocking foot supplex-nylon hippers (called the World’s Coolest) with the single seam for $54. They are significantly more expensive than the Dan Bailey ones you inquired about, but the seams may be the reason. I’m not familiar with Dan Bailey’s version so I’m can’t say for sure. Take a look at the seams of all those you’re considering, and check out the warranties that back them up. Hope this helps, Dan Dan Gracia Orvis West Coast Fly Fishing Schools

Howdy, Thanks all very much for responding. I thought what the heck and ended up purchasing the Flyweight Hippers. To respond to Dan, the foot on the waders is part of a single cut of material – with the single seam running down the front. The nylon isn’t that thick so I’ll have to be careful not to run into anything to sharp etc. Didn’t check the warranty or other products for that matter since I’m going embarking down to Southern Hemisphere for some ’summer’ fishing next week and just wanted to get something. You can be sure I’ll let you know if they turn out to be unsatisfactory. Cheers, Dean
Dean, It sounds like the hippers you chose have a foot construction similar to the Supplex Orvis hippers I own.

Dean, I bought a pair of neoprene stockingfoot hippers from LL Bean a couple of years back, and I’ve been happy with them. I’d used the old Red Ball Flyweights in years past and found them a bit lacking in the area of durability. True, the neoprene is a tad warmer, and a little more expensive, but I’m happy with them just the same. They have the advantage of being more comfortable in early season (cold water) than the flyweights, too.
