Stripers in Heavy Current with Capt. Jeff Becker
I’m not afraid to learn from my anglers. One thing I noticed was how well good trout anglers controlled their lines in heavy current. Subsequently I now use reach casts and mends for line control in heavy current. I can dead drift the fly better, and I have no downstream belly in the line. That gives me a better connection with the fly, and a better sink rate with sinking lines. Just remember trout guys we set our hooks with a strip strike-DON'T LIFT THE ROD TILL THE FISH IS HOOKED.
have fun, Capt. Jeff Becker
