The only two people I have seen fishing the Yuba with a spey rod are Ryan Miller and Andy Guibord. Having just picked up a 5 wt switch I was just wondering if anyone else out there has some setup recommendations. Ryan used to swing small leaches at the top of some of the riffles. I was using a scandi line with a fast sink polyleader and landed my first fish on the swing with the 5 wt. It was pretty small, but was excited considering visibility was only about a foot. I am thinking the clear intermediate polyleader would be great for swinging soft hackles during the march brown and hydropsyche hatches. Also wondering about setups when the flows are 1500 to 3000 cfs..
Also wondering about the new Rio Switch Chucker. Is that line supposed to be a line between a scandi and a skagit. Can a 5wt switch chucker throw 10' of T8. Hopefully the Rio wizard Aaron can answer this one...
