Rene Thanks for the great information. I have a 8W Diamondback Backwater and an Abel 4 Reel. I will have to make some sinking heads for my line and also tie up some clousers. This shoud be sufficient (I hope). Winter is here in the Eastern Sierra's and until the pass to the SAcramento region is more manuverable, I will stick with trout fishing at Lake Almanor. Some nice Browns as well as landlocked Salmon are there. Tightlines Jim

Jim, I'm a newby concerning strip!ers. But they are my cup of tea. We were using 9wt rods. I've build them on IM6 and IM7 blanks from Pac Bay and Rainforest. We had 9 wt floating lines, but I guess sinking lines or sink tips would be better. If you have Striper and Bluefish in the area, the blues are usually at the surface and the stripers are near to the bottom. The blues will take your fly as well, therefore it is a good idea to let the flies sink very fast. My son lost 3 flies due to the teeth of the blues. Byard would say, best flies are Clousers in white and chartreuse. These flies were effective, my son did catch his fish on Electric Chickens. Lefty would add, If it ain't chartreuse it ain't no value <G> Rene jim phillips wrote: Excellent picture-log! We have strippers down in the Delta (near Stockton, CA) but I have never used flys for them. Now you have my juices flowing. When the snow and ice melt I will have to drive over the Sierra's and give it a go. What weight rod and reels do you use, type of line and what flys are effective?
