Trout Spey…

[Brookes Outdoors]

I recently gave trout Spey a try and then wrote about it for Virginia’s DWR Fishing Blog. I thought it might be of interest to some in the group who may be new to two-handed angling.

Can anyone recommend a good leader and length for Shad?  I have a sink tip line and 9’ five weight rod/reel.  Thanks.

I have used a depth charge line (sinking line) on the Occoquan and Potomac with pretty good luck.  Rob Snowhite has a great You Tube video on building a shad leader, but I just used a  tapered leader with a 1X tippet to a jig and a Snowwhite damsel as the trailer with some 10-12 lb tippett

3 feet of 10lb straight.  No need to complicate it.  

[Todd Ringler]

3 feet of 10lb straight

This is where I typically end up with a full sink line. 

But I wonder, since a sink tip might struggle to get deep enough, maybe a longer leader makes sense….
