Well...well.... lol... I forgot...the one thing you don't want to do is recommend a specific leader/tippet set up... unless one wants some controversy... lol...
yes, there is value in every recommendation above...
It's fascinating how many combinations are possible in fly fishing..
Yes, Rob does indicate there is no need for a tapered leader when using a full sinking line in his podcast, as I understand him. I think the tapered leader was for a sinking tip line... I think, which Rob recommends for inexperienced anglers due to the difficulty of pulling up a full sinking line before roll casting... or any casting.. I can appreciate that...as I am a perpetual novice.. Lots of gear.. little experience..
I have a 8/9 wt rigged for steel head that I tried to bag in eastern NY a couple years ago..to no avail... I've thought about using it... a big gun for those monsters lurking in the depths.. has a shooting/sinking head on it too... goes like a rocket.... not sure about that... I may bring it along to back up my 7wt..
I have hip wadders Rob, with rubber soles and studs as well.. no wellingtons,but similar.
I am the best equipped rookie in Virginia I think... lol..
Later folks,
Mike Vance
