Yes I have also fished a full clear sink line in those dug out pools before. problem was unless I brought my other setup with my versa tip line I was stuck fishing only that type of water. Sometimes I bore of casting/stripping and want to just swing some flies. I try my best to not have tons and tons of set ups because then each one only gets used a little, I rather have a few that get used a lot  ;D

Lots of place in the lower river where a full intermediate will do fine.

True but its way more work casting it all day unless you have a stripping basket or stand on shore where your line will get beat on

I just coil it in my hand. Seldom need to cast father than 40 or 50 feet anyway. :)

FYI.....there's already a singer named after that particular species of salmon.  LOL

You could call your song "Pink in my Cadilac"  Don't think the Boss would mind.

also get yourself some pink wooly buggers (weighted)

That should be enough patterns to get you into fish. Focus more on your retrieve speed. once you find one that works its game on

Those buggers worked pretty well :) Unweighted, weighted; hooked a few fish in the upper yap before snapperoo. Should've bought more :P Oh well, restocked now :)

Thanks for the tip RE: retrieve speed as well :)
