Sink tips and full sinkers
Complete opposite here I use 10 to 15 ft type 6 sink tips on the bow for 6,7 and 8 wt rods for bank pounding at this time of year till run-offs done and then switch up usually to floating and longer lighter leaders as we get towards the fall. On my lighter 5 and 6 wts I use for lakes I use full sink type 6 for deep fishing and intermediate slime lines and tips for the shallower transition zones. I do not find the need for heavier wts in lakes as the fish although bigger are easier to land (no current and fish are fat not muscular) and I am usually fishing much smaller flies for them
