Q&A | #45 - Sinking Fly Lines EXPLAINED!

- In this video, Brian Flechsig of Mad River Outfitters discusses sinking fly lines and their applications and when it would and would not be good to use them. **Please read below for Editor's Note**
Editors Note: We do realize that the Galloup Streamer Max Long does feature an "Intermediate "Running line and NOT a Floating Running Line as was implied (please see our website for further explanation from Kelly). Brian simply mis-spoke a bit there and also knows this. He was referring to sinking head lines in general. Being an Intermediate, we typically do not consider the Airflo Streamer Max Long to be a true "full sinking" line therefore and termed a "sinking head". Regardless, still our favorite and best selling sinking head line.

woo, this video came out just in time to snap me back to my senses. Temporary psychosis from prolonged fly fishing withdrawal was making me think my cat's hair would make a nice streamer... guess I can put the trimmers down
Thanks for watching and happy to help!
Cat hair makes a great streamer!
@@Adroit1911 my wife would kill me... but what if... I'm sure Mr. Cookie wouldn't miss just a little...
@@Adroit1911 👍😜
I really do appreciate the fact you drew it out, and gave reference to length of the drawing. It makes everything that I read without understanding seem much clearer now. Great videos. Long time listener myself. Thanks Mr. Obvious. (Its a good thing).
Thanks for watching.
Great video Brian. You've got a way of taking all the things I've learned and putting it together in a really concise way that makes it easier to think for myself.
Thanks for watching and happy to help.
After years of surf fishing I keep the line in the hand. I prefer full sink lines because while wading it is rare to cast over 30 feet but I have the advantage of fishing from a boat.
EDIT: Thanks for Your Videos I really Apprechiate them.
Thanks for watching.
Yes full sinking line is ideal for trolling in the kayak. I have a video of me catching a salmon in the salt water last week using full sinking line.
Thanks for watching and congrats!
Thanks Brian. Keep supplying the great video content!
Thanks for watching and please stay tuned.
Thanks Brian, you've been really instrumental in bringing me back to fly fishing. Thanks to you and Kelly, I'm building a dedicated streamer rig around the Streamer X for up here in the Utah mountains. In one of your videos (which I can't find) you talk about Cortland's Big Shot and I was wondering if you still like that configuration for small to mid size rivers. I'm following your multi--spool guidance and I think the Big Shot fits right in. Thanks for all your great content.
Thanks for watching. Please email or call Brian at the shop and he’ll be happy to help.
You're the best, Brian
Thanks for being here!
An excellent discussion on a very confusing subject. I just finished Streamers for Trophy Trout. And am attempting to setup a new rod and reel. I THINK I know what I’ll be doing now. I think.
Thanks for watching and call the shop anytime with questions.
Smashed!!! Thanks Brian nicely done, John is probably fishing the Savanna River. It’s like our Chattahoochee River in the Atlanta Metro Area. 👍
Thanks for watching……and smashing.
Awesome video!! and thank you for the detailed explanation.
I’m going striper fishing here in central California and I was told to use big streamers and sinking fly line.
Hopefully you mean stripers? (this is a family friendly channel). If so, a sinking line is probably in order. Feel free to call the shop if you need any guidance on exactly what to get along with ideas on the flies. Thanks.
@@Madriveroutfitters my apologies, just corrected it.. hard to type with small font my bad.
Love these videos. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for watching and please stay tuned!
Us costal surf guys aren’t scared of the stripping basket. Thus a few show up at the local lakes as well. It’s an acquired look.
Thanks for watching.
Love my Clics also great glasses
Many of us would be lost without them!
For wet fly trout fishing is better if I use sinking tip line? If floating line is good, what is the best set up for wet fly?
Thanks !
Your show is the best, I learned all fly fishing from you😃 thanks 🙏
Thanks for watching. Please send your questions over to the shop via e-mail or give them a call. They will be happy to help/answer.
Great video!
Thanks for watching!
Great video. I now have a better understanding of the differences/nuances of sinking/sinking tip fly lines. Do you have a recommendation for a sinking/sinking tip fly line for someone who fishes stillwater?
Thanks for watching and happy to help. Please call the shop and they will be happy to help with a recommendation.
Very informative video. I purchased the Airflo Max short from your site. Works well, but wondering if I should have gone with the Max Long.. most of the streams and rivers I fish are medium sized. Kelly wasn’t hot on the Max Short in one of his videos in the comment section part of the video.
Feel free to call the shop and discuss. We’ll be happy to help figure it out. We do like the short for certain applications and it’s our #3 seller.
Call! It helped me.
Always feel free to call. The best way that we can help. Thanks.
Hey man could y’all made do a lake bass fishing video eventually? I’m not sure what sinking lines to get when target bass in lakes
More on the way here but always feel free to call the shop. They can help you there. That’s what they do. Thanks.
You didn’t mention anything about the full sinking compensate lines. What’s a compensated line and what brands offer them? Thanks 🙏
Thanks for watching. Feel free to e-mail or call Brian or anyone at the shop and they will be happy to help and answer your questions. They do not monitor the comments here...but of course do there.

Me thinks maybe Brian needs to cut down on the coffee, I had a really hard time keeping up with him from around 1:24 to 1:30. Just sayin'. So the answer to the question is: use the right line for the job at hand. Thanks for tell us what the right line is Brian.
He doesn’t drink coffee. Just natural enthusiasm. Thanks for watching.
@@Madriveroutfitters I figured you would say to call the shop to discuss the brands of coffee you sell
Getting to that time of year around here when even a lead line won't sink without an ice auger
Keep the faith......Spring will be here soon!
As slick as butter.
Could not have said it better. Thanks for watching.
For a beginner is floating or sinking better..... And cant you sink flys with weight with floating line???
As he states in the Getting Started Series, floating line is where you want to start. Yes, you can sink flies with weight.
