Good post whale, I forgot to mention the tippet part. I'm usually a 6x guy up there and fish with a light drag. But after loosing Flys on 5x , to Tue tune of about 20$ worth one week, just due to the hard strikes I settled on 4x and its been the ticket. I can't get over how hard some of the strikes have been on the swing this year. The guy who is now managing the flows needs a pat on the back. The higher winter flows brought the fish through the winter in great shape. Then Tue flows have been extremely stable compared to years past. The fish this year we have been catching have all had a lot of girth to them and are better fighters, even the cuts have been fighting instead of rolling over n playing dead.
