On high mountain streams I keep it reel simple. 3x or 4x tippet no nymph.
Enough fish seem to like to jump for drys to get me to jump for joy. They are no finicky ... generally.... when I fling it into the troublesome trees. the 4x does not wrap around the branches any where as much as 5x. It is strong enough to be pulled gently out of the bushes some times. Yet it still is strong enough to hold the fish even after it is roughed up by the trees.
