Washing Line set up's to try!  

As ever multiple points covering the wider spectrum of a very effective method. Depending on conditions the washing line is just as effective with floating lines, midge tips, sink tips, slow, med, or fast intermediate lines, slow or faster sinking lines. When in quicker drift often you can keep a tighter contact with the team of flies when using a slow glass to avoid drift/drag effect in anything above a moderate ripple. Then with the faster sink rate lines a buoyant pattern can result in a reverse washing line or bung situation. Presenting the team in the mid or lower layers of the water column.

Hi Lindsay, I recently started using micro rings for tying droppers. I am using 8lb line florocarbon. But I am getting both the droppers 6" long line wrapped around the main leader. Is this a known problem with micro rings. What am I doing wrong? Please help.

Just discovered your Chanel your easy to listen to from a young fly fisher from the east coast of Scotland 👍 many thanks for your upload

Hi Lindsey very cool technical explanation. Any chance you can cover how you construct cast. I.e. Creating cast from single piece nylon or different pieces of nylon?

How do you actually tie this rig, just tie 3 dropper rigs using a surgeon knot ?

On the second cast, what rod are you using in the video ? The one with the white just above the handle? Is it a Orvis ? Very informative as usual. Thanks for ur efforts and time mate. 😊

A very clear explanation. Thanks a lot for this education for us, new anglers.

Took the tips and got a few using a fab and 2 black diawl bachs.

How long would you recommend the droppers to be?

Hi Lindsay Nice videos very good illustrations I've got a small problem I've fished river's and Lakes /stillwater on rivers my droppers are shorter but on Lakes/stillwater and get knocked up please good you advise me on what I'm doing wrong Yours faithfully Mr Michael Burnett

Thanks Lindsay learning a lot from your vids brilliant content so informative. God bless Dave Lloyd

hello lindsay.What technique will you use to fish in slightly murky waters with educated fish? Can cormorants be a solution? I use a translator because I don't speak English

Great advice and illustrations….I love fishing the washing line but usually only use three flies in total with a much shorter leader. Can’t wait to try your technique 👏

good tips , one is always learning when fishing , thank you for sharing those tips/secrets

New to fly fishing and don't miss any of your posts could you a post on pre rigging the casts and how you store them and how you connect to the fly line quickly do you use a nail knot our loop to loop look forward to seeing your next post

Nice video, Mr. Simpson. Your exposition is refreshingly clear and informative. I fish mostly wild brown trout in small streams, sometimes lakes. For your American fans, like me, you might include some definitions for the more common British terms, like ‘booby’ and FAB. With a little bit of surfing I found both references, including ‘Foam Arsed Blob.’ With those terms in hand I could look further for tying instructions. Best wishes, as I anticipate more of your videos. Paul Kettler Port Orchard, Washington USA

Lindsay I really enjoy all your videos. They are really informative, I'm pretty new to boat fishing its proving quite a learning curve. With a four dropper set up is 20ft the minimum leader length? I struggle with a 15ft leader. Is it just technique?

Hi Lindsay I remember 20 odd year ago, doing this with 2 nymphs and a Dry Daddy longlegs on the point on a slow intermediate, and everbody at the competion was laughing at me till I bagged up , 6 to the nymphs and two to the Daddy, got my Soldier Palmer Jacket the following year lol All the Best Mo

I’ve been fishing 2 diawl bachs, with a top hat on the point most of the season so far with great effect on most fisheries in central Scotland, great takes

I am Falconer Sept of Clan Keith, but my problem is that I was born and raised in Oakland, California. I CAN'T UNDERSTAND A WORD YOU'RE SAYING 😞

Another interesting video lindsay keep the information coming it can only help novice to pro
