DD - very interesting and informative. I'd like to give it a try. At first when I saw the other members question about 8 or 9 wt it put me off. But you saying it's possible with a 5 or 6 wt makes me want to give it a try.

One question though: What's "pencil weight"? I assume just a various sized weight in the shape of a pencil? Where do you get them?

Thanks,

Greg

I believe Phil sells pencil lead at Lilley's Landing in the tackle shop. It is lead in the form of a thick wire that you cut to size accourding to the current conditions that you are fishing. You will need a pair of the Lead Master Pliers that Phil also carries in his shop to cut the lead and punch the hole in the end in order to put it on the snap swivel. A 5 or 6 wt rod is what I would recommend.
