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 and just buy the Yancy line. Bottom Line, these lines catch fish. You can either spey cast, traditional over hand, or Dickson's "modified spey". "Far and easy" would describe it well.

The old line we used to use was discontinued. We use a different line made the same style and length, just differnt color.

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 Tips

Uniform 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)
