>>2556633He didn't say anything about a boat which implies that he's fishing from shore. In most places finding 10 feet of water within casting rangevof share is a long shot, and with a floating line and Poly leader he cam easily fish from the very surface all the way down to 10 feet.
Granted there are flies that can't be fished on a floating line but there are also flies one cant fish on a sinking line, and a floating line can be made to sink but a sinking line can't be made to float.
>Pic related, a bass I caught on a weightless hollow fleye and a poly leader>>2556636Yeah there's a lot to learn when going to fly fishing from spinning gear. The multi piece leaders are ehsts called s Tapered leader and they're important cause they transfer the energy from the fly line in to the fly. With sinking limes however you can just run a 4 or 5 foot level leader. Tippet is just the term for the thinnest line in a leader, usually the last 24-36 inches but I've tied leaders with as much as 48 inches of tippet.
>>2556649>>2556640These are also good bits of advice, but really anything in the 2-6 inch range that looks like a baitfish, frog, or similar is a good option. Flies with bead heads or lead eyes will qink faster than flies without. And dibt forget poppers, divers, and other topwater options.
