Fished the south lake 10:30-3:30 on Sunday. Overall, pretty slow. Started off with a hare's ear around the weeds in shallow and only got 2. A chunky little rainbow and a decent cuttie with deformed pectoral fins. Around noon switched over to a scud under an indicator and that was better. Picked up 6 from 10-16", all rainbows. Broke off a bigger fish. Windy all day, whitecapping when I got off the lake. I didn't see any other fish caught.

what size tippet/leader wher you using?

fishing from shore or wading?

 

[troutpocket]

Oh, standard stuff. 9' leader tapered to 4x that I add another 2-3' of 5x to. I was floating in a raft. Tried to stay near the west shore to avoid the worst of the wind.

Roadkill, do you use specific material for you leaders? I just hack off a section of 8lb test and use it. I hear that fly fisherman use specific types of material. Where can I get these at?

 

[roadkill]

i just use a premade tapered leader 6x or 7x and when the tippet section getts short like less than a foot i tie on a couple feet of 2# flouro (wet and nymphs cause it sinks) or 2# stren for dries( floats better) but i keep my leaders short like under 7' i cant cast more than that

Thanks for the input. I'm just a typical Nebraska fly fisherman. Ppole even shows it!
