Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Preferred flatline type for specific situations

Aaron - I'm not sure what the bottom contour is at VA beach or what time of day you're planning on fishing, but some general thoughts on saltwater: 

- If you're fishing some deeper dropoffs/channels off a jetty, the sinking line will be good, particularly during the day

- If you're in protected bays, floating is fine

- If you're in the surf, an intermediate is ideal to get off the surface chop, but honestly I used to fish a floater on Cape Cod and I did just fine

- If you're fishing in the early AM/evening/night, you can get away with floating

So I have plans to do a couple of overnights at Virginia beach (shore fishing) along with a short trip to the salmon River in NY in early October.  Thinking I can set my battenkill 4 reel with my depth charge line (Minus some feet list to the rocks of the Potomac) and around  300 yards of backing (advised to handle the salmon running off my line) to cover both situations.  However I'm told that since im only wading at the beach,  that I don't need the sinking line and should stick with the floating line. Any thoughts?
