Hopefully this will get the attention of those "in the know" without me having to start a thread.
I've now caught my share of sandbass on the fly, which was my sole purpose to try flyfishing. Two questions I have:
Is is possible after hours in the water for your floating line to become saturated to where it sinks?
After hours in the water (you know, that point when your fingers start to shrivel), is there something you can do to make the line "slick" so it still glides through your fingers instead of sticking?
I hope that makes sense. I don't know all of the proper terminology yet.
Oh, one more thing that kind of struck a nerve with me. As flyfishers, how many of you are "elitest"?
Just like my hunting, I enjoy hunting by several means, not just a bow.
I've had more than one person tell my if it wasn't caught on a fly, it doesn't count. I like to catch lots of fish, regardless of the delivery of the bait. How is a dedicated fly guy going to catch fish on the bottom in 20' of water?

Nice, I am addicted to them ugly suckers. Just got started here, this year, ice is just leaving the lakes ( I’ve caught five or six so far) and now the snow returned. I am sure it will put them “ off” another week or two. Just curious what fly( s) you use, I tye them and always looking for new ones.

Fast sinking line, and a weighted fly ! Lol, I am no fly fisherman ( at least an elitest, far far from it). They make a fly line conditioner, fly line float-ant, it helps but not great.

I caught it on a fly I thought was called a carp-it-bomb from Matt Bennett (look up Fly Geek Custom Flies). But, it doesn’t look the same. Here is a picture of what I used.

I bought about 6 different ones from Gruene Outfitters and used this same one but more orange color to it. It was barbless and in glad a caught a catfish too which jumped the fly before the carp so I knew to keep 110% pressure on the carp. It’s light and will get right in the mud and has a really strong hook, obviously.

Good luck!!
