    Wait till you've taken your first over the head dunk in frezing water ... suddenly the urge to hold that 5KG LM becomes greatly diminished.

    Ag who am I trying to kid...

    Scythe, you mentioned 18ft leaders in another post elsewhere on the forum. Please can you explain the reasoning behind using such a long leader for winter LM?

    I'd imagine you'd be sight fishing Herman, so the long leader would help in that case.

    Thanks Daryl, makes a bit more sense now

    Yes, LM are weary buggers and a line splash will send them packing when the viz is good. Also you will be fishing in water 2M - 6M deep. And 'twixt casting to LM you will also be casting dries...

    Only kidding... I still need to pick your brain lots before I can make statements like that

    A friend of a relative was fishing yellows last week and apparently klapped a good few LM in the stiller water. +- 3kg's, using a single dry fly setup.
    Any tips as to what D.flies work better than others?
    I didn't speak to the guy personally so I couldn't see what he was using.
    Why haven't I seen any guys fishing dries for LM in the still water over the last 4 weeks i've been there?
    Is it a seasonal thing?

    Cheers,

    Clintfly

    Scythe, thanks for the info.
    Clint, I could not see 18ft before without my prescription glasses which I don't fish with 'cos they aint polarized, so I wore polarized sun glasses and anything further than 10m was a bit blurry.
    I picked up my prescription polarized sunglasses 30 minutes ago
    At least now I will be able to see who those are that are fishing around me and be able to greet those that I know
    Look out LM's, come end May let the battle begin.
