As almost everyone know by now, I had an opportunity to fish with Jack and Warren on the Elk River in TN this past weekend. Both guys make furled leaders and Jack gave me a fluorocarbon leader when we started out. I put it on the 4 wt. I decided to fish which had a floating line. The leader works like a mini-sink tip, which made retrieving it to cast a little bit of a challenge at first. The Elk is not very deep at the flow rate we were experiencing, mostly 3-4 ft. or less and using a guacamole stick bug and a blue assassin tandem I caught several brookies and a nice bow.

I have moved the leader to a heavier rod, but it is a tool I will continue to use for nymphing and streamer fishing.
