Hello! I'm in Idaho but it is my understanding you PA'ers are the best at swinging ways. I've been fly fishing 3 years (ocean fishing 20+ prior to my move). About 3 months ago I started swinging wet flies. I've never had more fun fishing. I truly love it better than dry or Euro. Anyway, I have some North Country Spiders en route. Questions...
1) Poly leaders, yes or no? If yes, floating, 1.6 IPS or the 6+ IPS? My water is typically shin deep to max pockets of 4' with lots of rifles
2) Furled Leaders yes or no? If yes, floatant on the leader or no
3) Mono vs Fluorocarbon
4) when to use soft hackles vs traditional winged wet?
5) How do you use Traditional Wet Fly Streamers? Like any streamer or ???
6) When to use split shot vs a tungsten soft hackle
I've yet to run into 1 person in Boise that swings Wet flies so any input is appreciated. Thanks!
