ED'S UNSOLICITED ADVICE: I'm never without a FULL-SINKING FLY LINE. Drive to a favorite trout stream only to find it off-color from the rain. NO PROBLEM. I rig 4-feet of 4x or 5x fluorocarbon tippet right off the end of the line. Tie an over-hand knot 15-inches above the fly and seat the knot tight. I put a split-shot above the knot, preventing it from slipping down to my size-12 F-C Crackleback while I knock 'em silly "skipping" it just off the bottom with my rod tip. The line, the fly and method will never fail you. Try the same method with F-C Rabbit Leeches, F-C Marabou Streamers and more.
BOB'S UNSOLICITED ADVICE: Apply my dad's method to smallmouth. I used a full-sinking Type-4 line on a warm water secrtion of the Meramec River here in Missouri on Sunday (7-6-08). I used a 3-4 foot tippet right off the end of the fly line with a Madam-X dangling off the end. Skipping it deep and slowly (as described above) I took one smallmouth and goggle-eye after another inbetween the canoe hatch. Best was about 16", and the action was consistant throughout the half mile or so that I waded.

NEW DUAL-TONE COLORS! RIO 'GOLD' Floating Fly Lines with WELDED LOOP INSTALLED: This has become my personal favorite all-around trout line (Bob).

The long back taper is excellent for roll-casting and line-mending. The running line and head are two different colors, making it easy to find your rods perfect loading point. RIO calls it the best 'all-around' trout line they've ever made and I agree. Loads and throws beautifully smooth on todays med/fast to fast action rods. DualTone color concept helps you find the perfect loading point for each line size. WF3F thru WF8F in COLORS: (1)Moss head with Gold running line, (2)Melon head with Gray-Dun running line.
