{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Deep water snag advice

What type of leader are you using? If it's straight 40-60lb test, it will be damn near impossible to break off in a kayak, and the breaking point may actually be your fly line. I'd try building a leader with about 18" of 40lb butt section, 12" of 15-20lb class tippet, and 18" of wire or heavy bite tippet. From there, you should be able to break the class tippet by pulling with your hand and it shouldn't be weak enough to break of on a fish.
