If you are fishing muddlers you can use a couple of feathers and wrap them for the head and then trim to suit and the line will keep them down very well.

8thumbs, do you use a type IV in lakes? What do you do to get the deer hair flies to sink?
JK,
I use type 4 and type 6. As far as sinking goes, just give the line time to do its work. Eventually, it will pull down just about anything with the possible exception of huge deer hair bass bugs. On the other hand, it eventually sinks my 2/0 crease flys. Remember that you have 40-60 feet of sinking line pulling down fly. I particularly like the combination of a slightly bouyant fly and a sinking line because small, gentle strips pull the fly toward the bottom and make it look like a prey item seeking cover. Good luck with your sinking line. 8T :D
YEAH! Like those boobie flies, or this tadpole pattern a friend made for me with foam on the top. Instead of the fly going up on the strip, it dives....GREAT STUFF!Quote:

I'm heading to Canada tomorrow and will let you know how it works out for me. Gonna try and catch a muskie on it!
CJacobs, good luck with your fishing trip, I hope you catch a lunker Muskie. Someday, I want to do that. I need to first get a 10wt rod.
I just knew you were going to like those "boobies". I'm the one who brought them up on the old "Tubin Times" board. They have always been one of my go to flies with the full sink line.Quote:
