Fly Lines For Stillwater - Jim_T - 02-26-2010
For those of you that flyfish stillwaters from a tube or toon, what types of lines do you normally carry with you?
I recall from a recent Mike Andreason podcast that he carries something like 11 or 13 lines with him but he didn't say if they were all for the same rod size or different sizes.
I currently take a floating, intermediate, and type 3 full sink line. Sometimes I include my 250gr shooting head if I need to go really deep on my 7 wt for bass.
I'm looking to add a type 4 or 5 for summer and a sink tip line. For the sinktip I'm unsure of the tip length to use (5', 7', 10', or 20') or the sink rate. Any thoughts?

All I take is a floating and a type III or IV sink line. All I ever need other than an occasional spinning rod.[cool]

For bass/panfish I take my Sage Smallmouth rod whitch
comes with line, 5wt floting, 5wt intermediate, 7wt interm.
I just got that sage 3wt which I have not used just yet.
For trout is Sierras float tubing I do very well with
5wt tipe IV and intermediate. If the wind p/u a lot then I go to 7wt interm. Speaking of that I cant wait to go [
