I fly fish for bream pretty hard. Went to sinking flies with a strike indicator for the first time last year. It is more like "traditional" fly fishing in that you strip the line to jig the fly under water. I got a lot more hits using the sinking fly. This year I'm going to replace the indicator with a dry fly and see what happens.

Any of you tried fishing a popping bug or floating fly with a sinking line or shooting head? The length of the mono leader determines how far off the bottom your bug works. It's a fun technique for when the fish head deeper in summer.

They can be picky sometimes. I tie 2' leader to bite of popper hook w/ clinch knot and follow with chironomids. Matches the hatch...
Sometimes the delicate approach fails and a small loud popper paused/popped gets the bulls to strike.

Nice! I've fished "hopper/dropper", but never "popper/dropper". I'll be giving that a try.
