[font "Verdana,Arial,Helvetica"][black][size 1]Post:[/size][/black][/font] [font "Verdana,Arial,Helvetica"][black][size 1]When you still water fish in lakes such as Strawberry, do you use P-line for your tippet as well? Do you go with a heavier line such as 8lb or even 10lb? I still want to get up to Strawberry and try that still water fishing with chrominids. I need to check out the fly shops and find some good flies.

[#bf0060]Specially when stillwatering. I have never understood the reason for a tapered leader on sinking line, but that is just me.[/#bf0060]
[#bf0060]The only time I use 8lb is if I do make a sort of tapered leader using 8 lb to 6lb to 4lb.[/#bf0060]
[#bf0060]At Strawberry I usually use 6lb, but I have used 4lb. I do use a glass rod however so the whole rod bends which saves the 4lb.[/#bf0060]
[#bf0060]I use 6wts on Henry's, Strawberry, Yuba and Scofield. I try to practice C&R so I do feel, get them in fast is important.[/#bf0060]
[#bf0060]That is where I feel a better reel with a good drag is very important also.[/#bf0060]
