Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Skagit lines for one-handers?

The tip depends on the skagit head and the rod you plan to use.

Rob,

Thanks for the info. Never having fished anything but standard single-handed fly lines, I have a couple of follow-up questions, if you don't mind.

1. I assume I would need running line + Skagit head + tip. If I'm using a sinking tip, would I then just add maybe a few feet of fluoro as a leader or do I need something more than this?

2. To get deep enough to reach shad how heavy (or fast-sinking) does your tip have to be?

Oh and one more: if you're smallmouth fishing on the Potomac, would it be worth trying these Skagit heads with a floating tip?

Best,

Mark O. (Barracuda on TPFR)

Opstskagit has them. There is a page that tells you what line for what rod. Call them and tell them your make and model. Iwill be fishing Skagit heads on 5wt rods for shad next spring.

I gather there are now at least a couple of options for those who want to fish a Skagit line on a one-handed fly rod. Adding a variety of tips should allow you to cover much (most?) of the water column. Has anyone tried using these yet? Do you think they make sense in fishing to Potomac for stripers, smallmouth, or other species?
