Was this your first time with the Washing Line technique? It really has me wanting to try it out.Washing line rig. A diving caddis was the only thing that worked in front, a Higas SOS, and a black and white boobie.

Got the right conditions, and had a good day. I had tied the boobie with the cottonwood hatch in mind. Didn't count on these guys though.

I've played with the setup a couple times in a row now, today was the first day the weather and fish were really cooperative. The type 6 with buggers and leeches got a couple, but the intermediate line washing line setup was better today. I saw bombers on the window screen last night but no takers on a starling and peacock or black gnat. Maybe the 6# dropper in front should be a 5#. I used a 5' tapered leader butt to .010" and a ring, 18" 6#, 4' 5#, 4' 4#.Was this your first time with the Washing Line technique? It really has me wanting to try it out.

No, sorry I was confusing. I was using the intermediate line with the washing line setup. I had another rod with a type 6, leech and bugger, to compare outcomes with.Thanks, Tom -
I didn't realize you were using the washing line technique on a type 6 sinking line. Huh (that's what Virgil Flowers would say). I'm going to try this with an intermediate line. //Pat
Doubles again… you are my Hero!Tequila Boobies and the Stupid Stocker Leeches. Sounds like bad B grade fish porn.

Working 'em on the intermediate line. Fished best with the boobie on the point.
Was fishin’ for planters at the local power bait lake last weekend and a couple politely pulls up a piece of bank beside me. She’s immediately into a nice sized fish and he follows suit shortly. She looks at him and harasses him on the size. I look at them both and say… “I guess size really does matter.” We all had a good laugh…Tequila Boobies and the Stupid Stocker Leeches. Sounds like bad B grade fish porn.
