Rods, lines and tips: 6 to 9 weight spey rods. Skagit and Scandi with T-11, T-14 and T-17 in different lengths. MOW tips are a very good choice to use with a Skagit line.

Black and olive wooly buggers, Yuk Bugs, Tube Flies like the Sunray Shadow and monkey. Big leeches and Intruders worked well during the last hour of fishing
