fly rig for upper section of South Fork of SR

[Loufly]

My setup is a little different than the "normal". I won't take credit for it though, because it has been around for a long time. The basic setup is this, a 6wt rod with a floating line a 7-9 foot leader with a little extra tippet. Regardless of how my flies are tied in, either in-line or as droppers like wet fly fishing, the last thing on my leader is my split shot. I will just tie an overhand knot and place the weight above it. Any type of indicator will work. I prefer my flies un-weighted other than a bead head. The weight takes the flies down where they need to be without hanging up.

I have found this cast a little better. In a normal system, the flies and leader below the split shot hinge at the shot. The system I use does not. I get less tangles and rod taps with the shot.
