With the river being high, I decided to do a little Czech Nymphing. (high sticking). Look what I found hanging at the bottom of one or my favorite runs on some local water. The big boys cannot resist a fly that is fished right in front of their nose. Give High sticking a try.
You need a leader system that sinks fast. Our Czech leader has a thread furled sighter/indicator and then transitions to a braided material. This braid is ultra strong, but better yet, very thin so it cuts through the water column quickly.
Fat Rainbow caught on a Cutthroat Furled Czech Leader.
Fly Fisher is to simply add tippet, fly, more tippet and another fly. Heavy flies work best. This is NOT a tapered leader, meaning it does not "false cast" well, but for lobbing up river as you do with high sticking, this leader is great and we have a growing following among high stick fly fishers.
