Literally, my favorite fish to catch in Virginia! I actually picked some of the flies mentioned in the video when I visited the shop in person for the first time over Christmas break. Thanks for more insight!!!

Even better 3 of the 5 flies were designed by Virginians; Mr. Chocklett and Mr. Kraft.

Can the Minie Bangtail and Finesse Game Changer be fished on a floating line?
@phineartz

@@ryankiesel4610 I run a 7’ sinking polyleader/versileader for unweighted streamers. I wade and cover all sorts of water so it’s convenient to have different sink rate options and the ability to go topwater at the ready. Most of these flies just flutter and float at the surface if not fished on some sort of sinking line.

Not even a mention of the clouser minnow! I guess we all have different preferences for flies but I was surprised not to see a clouser in the mix.
@Madriveroutfitters
@Madriveroutfitters 5 жыл бұрын
Pat, as many of us around here, fish smallmouth with sinking tip or intermediate tip lines. Therefore, very rarely do we fish weighted flies. Nothing wrong with a clouser though, especially if you only have a floating fly line, just not one of our top producers.

Sweet video and much appreciated 🙏 I did such a dumb move and bought a couple "game changers", if you can call them that, from one of the big box stores and what a piece of crap, weighs a ton! And doesn't shed any water, maybe a 15wt would cast it ok but idk. Then ya get one of those legit finesse game changers from MRO and wow, total game changer..... Pun intended. Thanks as always MRO

Thanks for the support. A game changer needs to say "Chocklett's" or it's not a game changer. Not found in Big Box stores as you have found out.

Thanks, I need to get some sink tip line. I mostly use 7 and 8 for popper dropper rigs that do well and heavy stuff. I swear by pink too, especially uv treated. I check their effect with a uv light. Can't go wrong with pink and white articulated anything in any conditions.

My basic process. Do you want the line to bring down the fly. Or do you want the fly to bring down the line. When running a floating line your fly will stay on the surface unless you use a heavy fly or add split shot. As you strip the floating line will lift up the fly. When using a sinker when you pause the line will sink so you can countdown how deep it goes. Then once it is down when you strip an unweighted fly will follow that line.
