Yancy Line
Multi-tip Flyline system.
For years, anglers have cut
and chopped their flylines, trying to find a flyline they
could cast their sinking heads without wearing their arms
out, by the end of the day. Double handed rods became the
rage. These spey rods were wonderful casting tools, but
we still missed the feel of fighting the steelhead on the
lighter single handed rod.
Yancy Salenjus, Mark Winningham
and Dennis Dickson all independently began playing with
this single handed rod, spey cast, concept. Yancy and Mark
came up with the forward belly design, Dennis improved it
with the flat mono running line, and progressive heads used
in the multi-tip system. Dennis and Mike Dickson guide over
200 steelhead days a year, and they fish these lines exclusively.
The beauty of the system
is if you already have a multi-tip, you can keep your
sinking heads (as long as they are around 15 ft and 8-10 wt. heads) and just buy the Yancy line. Bottom Line,
these lines catch fish. You can either spey cast( use a modified version for a shorter rod), traditional
over hand, or Dickson's "modified spey". "Far
and easy" would describe it well.

You will need your own heads for these lines. 12 - 15 ft. prefered in a 9 - 11 wt. line. I like Rio's 15 ft. heads they are sold in most fly shops. A sink type #3, #6 and #8 are used the most.

Floating
Line Head System
Finally, a floating line
head system that allows you to flyfish steelhead with your
trout rod. Why don’t anglers do it now? The reason
is.... even though the lighter rods are shear enjoyment
in playing larger fish.... making the consistently longer
casts so common in steelhead flyfishing all but wears you
out with all this false casting.
Load and Shoot: The FLHS
allows you to load and shoot a longer cast in barely more
than a single backcast. How did we do it? We played with
lines that would load the rod quickly. This is an eight
weight line for a 5-6 wt. rod. We chose the Cortland 444
SL to fit the bill. We then cut at the forward end and annealed
this floating line to a high tech flat mono, running line.
(This line is unlike anything on the market) Zero stretch
for hook setting, low memory and when it gets wet (unlike
most flyline running lines which get sticky) this line gets
slick for long smooth casts.
How good is it? Though it
was designed for the Grande Ronde steelhead Dennis took
it to B.C. and rose some 39 steelhead in 9 days. These boys
averaged twelve pounds and he landed fish fish to nearly
twenty pounds on his single handed 5 wt. rod! All on the
FLHS. Try it you will be amazed.

Sink
TipsUniform
Sink Wet Cel; These lines are designed with a tip that has
a slightly higher density than the belly. This causes the
tip to sink faster than the belly, thus eliminating the
sag. More direct contact is created between the rod and
the fly. The result is the angler detects strikes better.
Green Belly with a grey tip.We
make our own scientific angler tips using the loop to loop
method. Loop to loop is essential for ease of changing to
your conditions. Why fish a type 6 all day when your conditions
require a type 3 or vice versa. Add a loop to your leader
and add it to your sinking tip with ease. Premake different
length leader material so you can change to your conditions
also. A foot of leader per every foot of visibility. (Saves
you time)
Remember
when ordering to specify Weight, and Type. In PayPal you
are given the option in a special dialogue box.
