Washing line technique
Can be created using any fly lines, floating, intermediate and sinking. The idea with this method is that you can keep your flies either close to the surface or work various depths with a sinking line. This is a very successful method at Curley’s Trout Fishery, and can be a very effective way to keep your flies up near the surface and just subsurface when the fish are within the top few feet.
On a day like today, with the sun bearing down upon the water, a sinking line and a team of nymphs or buzzers with a buoyant fly like a booby will do well. You can cover various depths with the top dropper fishing deeper and the middle dropper fishing mid-water depth and the point fly within the top few feet. The longer the leader, within reason, the better, as it will produce more takes to this method, purely and simply, because the flies will be sat a distance apart and covering completely different depths.
This is just a very basic guide for those that are unsure of this method, ive personally had quite a few anglers enquiring within the fishery office about this exact method.
Hope this helps!
