I use a single handed 6wt with a Mastery Bonefish line for the beach
fishing. We and other flyshopsI assume have just received a shipment
of the new Rio Outbound lines. They are integrated 30' heads. One of
them will be just the ticket for the Atlantis.

Silly me.... of course there's no other way. The other important
question would be: one- or two-handed rod? And if two, which
particular variety of CND?
This leads me to a related question: A client of mine bought
himself the Atlantis All-arounder (the lighter version), but has
been having trouble getting his shooting head system set up. I
vaguely remember how Juro had it set up, but what works for you?
I'd like to pass this info along....
Thanks, Leland. See you at Lincoln Park this August!

Is there any other way?!!!!! Seriously, a surface fly broadcasts so
much more while being stripped and pulled by a dryline belly
against the wind and tide. Fish really rise to the occassion, so to
speak.

Leland,
On the Popper?

There are 20" silvers and shaker blackmouth in the Narrows. I had
four on in the hour I fished last Sunday in the high winds and
outgoing tide at Doc's.

This morning I took off to the Snoqualmie for some spey casting
practice, otherwise known as steelheading. The river is
clearing up and dropping but is still moving pretty fast and
high with visibility being good for about 2'. I was surprised
that my double spey was still good even with a Type III sink
tip. I think it is going to take a few more weeks to get the
river into really good shape for fly fishing assuming we don't
get another big downpour in the mountains. Then, of course, we
need to hope that some fish actually show up. Last year it just
never really happened for the Snoqualmie.
I've hit the Cedar a few times in the last week since my
daughter lives right on the river. I've caught a lot of
whitefish and some very good ones at that, I think they fight
harder than the trout in that river since they bulldog down in
the current. I have gotten one monster trout of 18" that took
me by surprise and sans net. I've also gotten some of the more
typical small trout. Everything has come on a BHPT nymph. I've
been using a #14 tungsten followed by a #16 tungsten PT and find
most fish are on the smaller fly. The frustrating thing about
the Cedar to me is that bugs are hatching everywhere but you
only see an occasional fish rise. Also it is a bit odd wading
around in people's back yards.
