Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Lunchtime striper

7wt intermediate clear sinking.  casting a variety of ways, all from on top of the bridge:

1-south corner closest to the bank dropped line in water and let current carry into seam

2-mid to north side bridge cast under over hanging tree, let current push flies past eddy hoping to get hit

3-same as 3, fed lots of line into water and retrieved in different ways jigging, regular, etc.

Got hits on all three.

I cast across the culvert from the north bank but not sure that the fly drifted where i wanted it to because of the current.

Thinking about bringing my tree pruning gear to cut (and retrieve) the mono that was hanging from the tree.  It messed up my loops.

FWIW I decided that clear intermediate will be staying on my 7wt going forward.  I don't really need floating line because I am not looking for dry fly trout action.  The intermediate can be stripped and keep the fly higher in the water column if needed or can be paused to let it sink.  The majority of where I fish the 7wt (Potomac and wet wading salt water locations, ie water < waste high) this line is preferred. 

If I ever got to go flats bone fishing I guess I would change it out.

What kind of line were you using?
