I haven't fished with sinking line and have thought about it, but getting my flies to the bottom of this river is only a problem a few days a year. Some of the holes I normally fish are not fishable even now because I can't wade out far enough out to get a cast to the best water. It's just something I put up with. It's a great piece of water 85% of the time. I also have some slower water holes for high water times but didn't have the time to hike in, fish and hike out Tuesday evening. If I could find a sinking tip line at the right price I would think hard about buying it.
