Airflo Skagit Compact Intermediate Head: $54.99, 450-720 grains
After fishing the Airflo Skagit Compact Intermediate Head this spring, all we can say is “Whoa!”
At first fishing the head in steady, even currents it was tough to
notice a big difference how this line presented the fly, compared to its
floating cousins. Yes, it turned over
big winter steelhead bugs with ease and grace, but so do the floating
heads. Then we saw it…the intermediate
head really helped to slow the fly down as it swung across the run.
The
next test was to fish the head through runs that had uneven, mixed currents
(You know, those runs you know hold fish, but are a pain to get a nice even
swing through). As advertised, this head
pulled the fly through the run at the perfect speed, just leaving us on edge
waiting for a steelhead to pounce on our fly.
Loop it on and let ‘er rip!!
We've got 'em at the shop, stop in and get an edge for fishing the Peninsula in April through the high-water runoff that will likely last through June at a minimum.
