I do almost 100 percent of my fishing for wipers with a weight forward floating line....but i usually chase them when they are in the shallows in the spring and fall. with a floating line i fish a 9 ft leader and allow my fly (which is almost always weighted) to sink. I suppose if i was to go after them in deeper water a sink tip (type IV) would work also...just count down until you get to the depth you desire. shorten up your leader to about 4 or 5 feet when you do this, it will allow you fly to ride at the right depth then without floating up above your fly line. I fish only Scientific Anglers Mastery series fly lines, they are what i like and last a long time if you take care of them. Thats just my personal preferece, Rio makes a good line also...
