Cowlitz River float - Washington Fly Fishing Forum Yet here were a bunch of folks floating down river with no means of control other than paddling with their hands I'm including this story because hand paddling at 6500 cfs is no way to avoid sweepers and log jams in fast riffles My friends and I were spread out fishing a long run when two women floating by hanging on to one of those pool toy
Which line with T-14? - Washington Fly Fishing Forum With a floating head I use a floating running line There is a rather extensive section on shooting heads including LC-13, T-14 and DWE in our upcoming, "Fly-Fishing for Pacific Salmon II" How to figure out these lines is covered very concisely in a sidebar written by Bill Nash of San Jose, California
East Fork Lewis River - Floatable? - Washington Fly Fishing Forum My father and I are thinking of floating the East Fork Lewis from just below Hwy 503 to Daybreak tomorrow, 3-8-09 We have a Clack fiberglass drift boat and floated it before the floods last year How has the flood changed the river?

Cheap Line Recomendation (under $50) - Washington Fly Fishing Forum 5 6wt weight forward floating line I would like to try to keep it cheap (I know, I know, I get what I pay for) If I can get it cheap enough, I might be able to get actual backing and ditch the twenty pound mono I have had on for years:thumb: I have looked through Kaufmans, and the Fly Shop catalogs, but I cant really choose one
Tippets on Spey Lines | Washington Fly Fishing Forum For dryline work I would reccomend using the floating 10' tip that comes with the line, a 10' polyleader, and 3'-5' of level mono Casting a short-head scandi is much easier when using a long (14'+) leader - the leader provides the anchor while the rest of the line is aerialized in the d-loop
