Lake fishing - hang and bob

Hi all, I just read Gary Lafontaine's stillwater column "Hang and Bob". I want to give it a try but want to make sure I have the setup correct.

If I'm not mistaken, you should tie an indicator to the end of the leader with a clinch knot as if it were a fly. I'm not sure where to tie the tippet though? Do you tie the tippet to the indicator with a clinch also? He says tie it above the indicator. So would that mean to tie the tippet to the leader using a clinch knot?? I've never tied tippet to a leader this way before, but would think it would weaken the line...maybe not?


If anyone has used this technique or understands better than I do, please let me know!


Also, how does it work?!!?

Thanks!

go here http://www.flyguysoutfitting.com/rightangleleader.html Loren gives a tutorial that should help.

Thanks! That's just what I was loooking for... and it looks like it is done exactly the way the column said to. Now I'll have to give it a try


Thanks again!

I love this line from the tutorial..... says it all in one sentence.

"But in a nutshell, cast above the fish, retrieve at the speed of the current, and set the hook when the orange fuzzy thing goes under!"
