Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Gravelly Point

Thanks! I've got wf floater and a 6 and 2 4 wgt's, one of which is a tight quarters shorty for brookies. Fun stuff, but tangly and tiring.😀

It's just been a bad year for me with some family illnesses and a separation so I'm really running on a shoestring. Next year I'll just buy a full sink

You have made me rewind my life about 35 years.  Low tech cheap way?  When I was a teenager and trout were deep in a lake and we were fishing from float tubes, I wrapped part of a wire clothes hanger around the tip of my fly line.  Awful.  Atrocious.  Terrible.  Presentation was explosive and casting was downright dangerous.  But it sank and I caught fish.

That is low tech and cheap.  I would also NOT recommend it.

I would miss a few coffees and buy a decent line for the shad run and the Bay.  But if you are asking for Gravelly and really for most of the river outside of the shad season, I think you can get away with a floater.

Thanks Mike. Another question. Is there any low tech cheap way to make the line sink other than buying $100 300-380 sink line? I'm on a very strict budget. If presentation doesn't really matter, can I just crimp a big weight in the end or beginning of the leader?
