Steve,
I keep it very simple. 95% of the time I use RIO 5X flouro. If I’m fishing extremely low clear water I may drop to 6 or 7X, but my experience is that as long as I get a good drift I don’t need super small tippet. If I’m on a stream with “less intelligent” fish, I don’t even think I need flouro. I usually don’t adjust for fly size. I just try not to use anything below 5X unless I feel its necessary. If I’m fishing high or stained water I won’t hesitate to use 3 or 4X. I prefer flouro, but you will still catch plenty of fish with mono if you get a good drift.
To sum it up for me: 5X almost all the time, 6 or 7 in low super clear water, 3 or 4 in high dirty water.
Hi Phil
I know this probably goes against common logic- but you should be used this to this by now from me:)))
My own thinking would be this
Hi
Velkommen ombord stor arbejdsplads , ser ud du er har mange sjov.
not sure what I just said – but
Thanks Zach – that’s a generous offer – but not neccessary – I’m confident I’ll be able to sort it out
Brian- maybe this explains the quiet- :))
I believe these folks own AA amongst other mags- could be wrong-

be interesting to see what happens down the road considering their holdings/interests in
I think I have to echo Zach’s comments with regard to where the images are going and the context.
While its all fine and dandy to say the RAWS should be nailed no anything needed
That 20% tipping reference was probably put there as a cash plan ahead because many people using a guide for the first time have no idea of how much to tip.
As mentioned before, eggs, eggs and more eggs. Anything from a natural cream to a radioactive chartreuse will work as far as color. I like to base my fly choice off of water clarity. The higher/dirtier the water, the bigger/brighter my fly is.
Dead drifting tandem rigs of 2 eggs or egg and nymph combos under indicators will produce far more fish than swinging, particularly this time of year. Remember to use plenty of weight and keep in mind that if you aren’t losing flies, then you probably aren’t “in” the fish.
You might want to get into a lot of fish, but if you are willing to take a hit in terms of numbers of fish hooked, then swinging big streamers is the way to go. There is nothing like 10 pounds of chrome mauling a big streamer and deciding that he isn’t very happy about being hooked! Big buggers, zonkers and other flies with lots of motion will work just fine for this.
Take lots of pics and keep us updated when you get back!
