Just one addition, for those new to sinking lines.
If you value your rods, make sure the line is fully on the surface when you lift it for a back-cast. What this usually means is a serious of roll casts to keep the line up there for the lift.
It's less complicated to do than to describe. But if you neglect it you could damage your rod.
BTW, when fishing big, flat water, consider a shooting head system, which lets you fish anywhere in the water column with ease. Shooting heads are not just for big, brawling western streams.
