Spring tubes

Recommended Posts

Hi all

Now I am ready for next weeks "battle" against the Atlantic salmon on the Royal Dee in Scotland.

The fishing is typically done with sinking lines and longwinged tubes.

On the picture you can see two exsamples on these tubes.

Hope you like them.

How do you fish your brass tubes ?? On a floating or intermediate line and long leader ?? Sink tip or sinking line and short leader ??

 

Hope you do well in Scotland !!

Hi Mike

Thanks

I use a sinking shooting head with a relative short leader. Sinking desity depending of the temperature (air/water), water level and current.

 

Regards

Jens
