New small stream technique

[riverdog]

I'll use 6x leader as short as 3-4 ft without tippet for both nymphs and dries on those brushy creeks with small pockets. I fish upstream and will cast in almost every way imaginable depending on where the brush is and the hole to reach. My standbys are snake roll and reverse snake roll casts. I know there are some you tube videos on these techniques but I did them out of necessity for the conditions I frequent not because I saw anyone else do it. That looks like it could be one of the creeks I mentioned to you but there are tons of those small creeks loaded with those cutts in Idaho. Thankfully most of them get overlooked by the folks that don't experiment and adjust their techniques for the fishing conditions. It really is quite a painful site when you see someone trying to fish a dry and a dropper off 7 and a half ft or more of leader plus tippet in those conditions.
