Stephen you kill me. I know here in the winter unless we have a good midge hatch going on I have to go deep to them. So I try to wait my flies or add putty to my tippet. I have always wondered how people like adding a weighted leader I can't imagine it would be easy to cast..
Dave,
Most of my freshwater trout fishing is done with a floating line. I don't like sink tips because for the most part your fly doesn't get far enough down in most cases because of the floating section 10 feet or less behind the sink tip.
On the saltwater side I use "sink tip" lines like the Teeny 300 series- these have a 30 foot sinking section and then a floating section beyond that.
Gets me 6-12 feet down on the beach and in the deep water of the marsh I fish.

I use cortland wf floating lines also...Was given a sinking tip
line years ago....Tried it once and condemned it..
Anyway, if fish expect breakfast in bed, they are not gonna
get it delivered by me.
Stephen
Happy Fishing and Tying
