The HV Thin Crossover solves a few problems and offers unique presentations within a tight line system. It’s perfect for the Crossover Technique with streamers and nymphs. And it’s great all-around leader when you need extra distance with less leader sag, while still preserving power, accuracy and casting feel. The mid-range butt section provides a chance to hover streamers and nymphs around structure, at longer distances, with enhanced sensitivity, and it still has enough mass to cast like a fly line. Originally built for fishing streamers on the Mono Rig, the HV Thin Crossover is an excellent hybrid leader for pure tight lining nymphs, for dry dropper and for indicator work.

Fly Fishing Strategies: Learn the Nymph

As a young troutbitten kid, I learned to fish live minnows strung on a small double hook with a barrel swivel and split shot. My uncle taught me to cast upstream and dead drift the unlucky creature, adding a slight lift when necessary to keep it off the bottom. When...

What to Trust

** Note ** This is a story I wrote and published in 2016. It is rewritten and retooled here.  A tall man crossed the railroad bridge above me. He cautiously navigated the nine-by-seven inch oak slabs and peered through the gaps below. Then he paused at the midpoint,...
