I fish lots of ponds and small lakes for trout. Always from shore. I currently have 2 rods ( a 6 weight and a 4 weight). Both rods have floating line.
While nymph fishing my local pond the other day, I was watching a fellow fly fisherman that was just slaughtering em in the section of water I had no luck in 30 minutes earlier. I walked over to the gentleman and asked him what he was using... He was using a stillwater nymph with sinking line. Obviously he was getting down deeper to the fish than i could with my floating line =(.
Now I am looking to purchase some sinking line for my 6 weight, but I am really unsure what to get. I know there are lines that sink faster than others for fishing deeper lakes and such. Any suggestions for lines to use while fishing from shore??
