Warmwater Fly size Poll II Refined Poll

Dear FTF Member,
Support FTF by Subscribing to Hatches Today! 2011 Issue - In Stock
Since 2003 FlyTyingForum.com has grown from a handful of people to 30,000 registered members and has become the largest fly tying community in the world. In 2007 I published the first issue of Hatches because I felt the FTF community could offer a printed magazine that far exceeds anything the fly tying world has ever seen published. To this day, Hatches is largely made up of articles submitted to me by FTF member and FTF will continue to play a large role in the future of Hatches. Hatches truly is a grassroots effort, unlike many of the other publications in circulation that have the backing of large media corporations. The future of both Hatches and FTF depends on the support of FTF members like you. For $7 a year, you not only help ensure that I have the resources needed to be able to offer you all of the features you enjoy today free of charge, you also get 96 pages of pure fly tying awesomeness that is worth the price by itself. Click Here for Subscription Info Thank You -Will

Lets try it again but just for Baitfish and attractor flies. Remember to hit the one that you do most of the time or covers the majority of your flies.

C) All of the above.
If I was an "expert" people would be paying me to do this stuff. I just like to do what works.

Im amazed at all of the floating line users. I have not used a floating line yet this year for bass. I may not unless I fish a popper.

Well, as you know, it comes down to the application. In the waters I most often fish for largemouths, the water is shallow and there are mountains of weeds a couple feet below the water surface. You wouldn't want to drag a line or a fly through that stuff. The floating line also tends to be easier to manage in current when you're also trying to maintain kayak position due to wind.

On the other hand, I know of some relatively non-weedy, rocky lakes where sinking lines or shooting heads would be the preferred approach for smallies, no doubt.

Wow as of this post white has more votes than black.

I also prefer a type 2 line or a type 1 with a clear tip. But then again I usually use lightly weighted flies and flouro leaders and im fishing in rivers without many weeds. I think the clear tip type 1 would be best for lake fishing if your fishing shallower than 10 feet or so. Even with the weeds.

I have to agree with Fishkill. I switch to an intermediate line in shallow areas. It takes the hinge out of the line (sinking fly and leader floating head) my clear head line has a 1 ips sink rate. Weeds I drag my lines in and through the rocks, boulders, logs, refrigerators, shopping carts, and other various piles of junk all day. Weeds are no worry

right now fish are deep so I am trolling in my pontoon with sink tips in about 20 - 30 feet of water.

We ( the family) fish mostly small limestone streams. I rarely have the need to fish deeper than 8 ft, even on the lake. I fish floating lines exclusively for bass. If I have to get down deep, I add shot to the tippet, especially for goby and craw patterns.
