Downsizing for bites

[lil_louzi]

Been throwing smaller flies and tippet and has increased the counts at the lakes and bays. Figuring out the spotty indicator bite has been fun too.

Thanks for your great post and pictures, looks like your flies are doing the trick.
Curious on picture 3 looks like you have a snap tied on, what type is it?
Thanks in advance

Nice! I've been wanting to bust out the 9 weight at the local spot, but it's difficult to present the stuff I'm throwing on the fly.

If I were fishing horizontal in less than 10 feet of water, over natural cover, I can see it happening.

But I can only imagine making a cast near a piling and having a spottie eat up a hand tied Clouser and use my fly line, leader and tippet to decorate the piling.

Good going out there sizing down.

Just a conventional snap swivel, I think size zero or 1. I only use them when I’m feelin extremely lazy, but I strongly prefer the non-slip loop knot.

Yeah when I’m doing a fly or die sesh, I try to fish less than 15ft depths. Usually bring a sink line (7ips) and a float for bobber fishin.
