Which fish better...weighted or unweighted Waterboatman?
I like mine to be unweighted. If I want to add a little weight, I add a swivel between the leader and tippet. When trout are on to waterboatmen, the fishing can be awesome especially casting to rises.
Regards Mike
Thx, Mike, when or why do you decide to add weight?
Unweighted=when the trout are clearly rising to them.
weighted=when I have tried my staple flies and they aren't producing.
I usually start unweighted, especially if I am fishing along the shoreline or if there are visible rises. If that doesn't work I will try the weight. If that still doesn't work, I say the heck with it and toss out a black leech.
Regards Mike
