What is a Skagit tip?
A Skagit Head with a sinking tip attached was designed and built to provide extra weight to sink the fly towards the bottom of moderately fast moving water while using a very compact casting stroke to avoid riverbank obstructions on wild rain-forest rivers. A line tip is just and extension of the shooting head.
What is the difference between Skagit and Scandi?
The main differences between Scandi and Skagit lines is that the Skagit line design concentrates more weight in a shorter mass, especially in the sinking tip portion, which helps turn over heavy, bulky flies. All Skagit lines need a tip attached to the head portion of the line to enable it to function properly.
What is a switch fly line?
Switch Lines A new, and very effective, class of lines that combine the design of a traditional single hand line with a taper which is made to Spey cast. It is not the best line for either Spey or overhead casting, but does a pretty good job at both.
What line do you put on a switch rod?
Generally speaking, you want to choose a line that has a head length no longer than 3 times your rod length, as the greater the ratio between rod length and head length, the harder it is to spey cast.
Are switch rods worth it?
These rods are an excellent tool for roll casting. They are able to cast heavier flies for distance. Being good for small to medium-size streams does not mean you can’t get some distance. Spey casting with a short Skagit head allows you to fish larger waters and cast some real distance even with obstacles behind you.

How long should a sink tip be?
20-30 foot
When fish are in the middle of large runs, like in October, longer 20-30 foot sink tips are preferred. Long sink tips require that most of the line be retrieved before recasting, but they are much more effective at getting your flies down fast.
Is sinking line harder to cast?
For the angler that has thrown nothing but floating lines, moving to a sinking line can present new challenges. Due to the different design and heavy, dense configuration, these lines can be quite a bit more clunky and tougher to cast overall.
Do sinking leaders work?
Sinking leaders cast smoothly because they form a natural extension of your fly line, and the weight is distributed throughout. After several seasons of using them, I’ve found they cast easier and farther than leaders weighted with shot. They’re also much less likely to tangle.

Is it better to mow the lawn in the morning or evening?
If you wait until the early evening, the lawn is usually dry (unless it has rained during the day, of course), the sun is less intense, and the lawn will have plenty of time to recover before the next afternoon’s heat arrives. Even if it hasn’t rained, lawns are usually wet in the morning because of moisture from dew or fog.
