Looks like 3.5 to 4 inches per second so up to 3 seconds per foot would make it 45 seconds to get it down to 15 feet if my math is right? Maybe a weight fly or stream could speed it up a little?
In th summer when trolling for trout over 100’+ we will sometimes stop the boat to bring in a fish. When this happens our leadcore sinks, and almost every time when you real it in there’s a lake trout on it. I would think you would have a similar presentation by letting the fly line sink. Might take some time to get down there, but I bet it would work.
Yeah buddy. You'll be casting it out as far as you can get it, then crack open a cold one and sit back a while. When yer done with the beer, start stripping it in! LOL!
How dedicated are you to a fly reel? I'd put a dinker spinning reel on the 5wt an drop shot an ice flyor a beemoth.... Just an ideafish on,rivereddy
You make fun but could get a hit on the way down. Don't drink beer and it's not allowed on this lake.
just kidding! Ok, a hot cup of coffee from the thermos! But really, it does sound like a relaxing way to fish. Cast out a weighted nymph, streamer or wet fly... a colorful streamer with a wet fly or nymph dropper could be killer.... and let them sink. If they don't get hit on the way down, do a slow strip in short jerks. You'll get hit, should be a ton of fun!
By all means, find a way to portage over the ridge and check out that pond yonder.....fish on, rivereddy
