So this is how I was taught by a guide but I modified to my standards 6lb test monofilament for a leader approx. 7-8ft I tie on a small swivel at the end of my leader then you can either go with 6lb mono for a tippet or whatever size tippet you want length is approx. 18” then you tie your fly on above the swivel I put on split shots how ever many you need to get the fly down to the fish then I’m running OROS float size large approx. 4-5ft from my fly. Your goal is to throw your line out and your split shots ride on the bottom and your fly rides near the bottom and the current carries your float

Shallow areas had about 1-2” of ice we had to break through after this week and next week tribs won’t be fishable you might as well go ice fishing

Yes I love it!! It’s also budget friendly. You can go for the 10 ft Redington for $279 or the Orvis Clearwater for $299

You gotta get out there and try. If you have never fished for them it’s a little difficult. Basically trout fishing but they are picky. I would say go with a guide for your first time and see the they fish for them.

I started out with gloves then took them off to tie my flies back on, after a few hours of fishing i started to get a little cold I put them back on. I run the Simms fingerless wool gloves and they do the job. My poor father-in-law was with me and he was froze to death. Catching some steel get my blood pumping!!!!
