if i go flyfishing on the coast what do u use generaly ? A floating WF line and sinking tip? Or compleet floating and a sinking leader? I mean ofcourse flyfishing with a little fish immitation (streamer) not a dry fly.

A floater with sink tip or leader will be okay for kahawai and/or shallow water but as Tobez says you might want a line that gets down a bit.

Allright

Thanks for the information tobez and Craig.  I think we are fishing in shallow water so a floating line and a sinking tip and leader  will do.

depends ...if you can see a work up...or surface feeding.. then a sinking tip with floating line...sinking line for "unknown" that would be my choice

but for all round prob sinking the whole way...often the bigger beasts are below...

im not as think as you drunk i am
