[font "Terminal"][black][size 3]When I fish in the winter, I am using size 30 and 32's. Sometimes I can accually see the fly and the take, but for the most part, I rely on the feel of the take. That is where my full flex boo, glass or trout bum or one ounce come in real handy.[/size][/black][/font]
[font "Terminal"][black][size 3]Last year I hooked a 22" brown in the current on my bamboo with 6X tippet, the fact that the boo is full flex was the only reason I landed this fish without getting broke off.[/size][/black][/font]
[font "Terminal"][black][size 3]But in the same breath, I landed a 28" Brown on the Madison on a day that was soooo windy, the drift boats were rowing down stream. That day, the only way I was going to get that fly to the hole was with a VERY stiff (fast action) graphite.[/size][/black][/font]
