Thanks for the report.
We were at Renegade yesterday in the wind and didn't do all that well either. We only landed 15, all cutthroats on black/green crystal buggers and Canada blood leeches in sizes 4-8. We had heard lots of reports of algae but the water was pretty clear.
If you are shore fishing lakes or fishing rivers, then a sink tip is a good choice like the FG said, but for fishing out of a tube/toon the uniform sink/steady sink lines are the way to go. If you only have two sinking lines the FG hit it on the head, #2 maybe #3 and a #7 sink. If you go for a #7 sink rate I would seriously look at the AirFlo Sixth Sense line. I used the #7 RIO In-Touch line for over a year and a half and they replaced the cracked lines each time but they only lasted about 4-6 months. Poor results for a $75 line. As far a #2 or #3 either SA, Cortland, or Orvis make decent sinking lines at a reasonable cost.
