For those of you that flyfish stillwaters from a tube or toon, what types of lines do you normally carry with you?
I recall from a recent Mike Andreason podcast that he carries something like 11 or 13 lines with him but he didn't say if they were all for the same rod size or different sizes.
I currently take a floating, intermediate, and type 3 full sink line. Sometimes I include my 250gr shooting head if I need to go really deep on my 7 wt for bass.
I'm looking to add a type 4 or 5 for summer and a sink tip line. For the sinktip I'm unsure of the tip length to use (5', 7', 10', or 20') or the sink rate. Any thoughts?
