Re: [VFB] Fishining this morning
I had some 8X once but you have to play the fish so long and carefully that I got rid of it. I still have some 7X for tiny midges. They do alright with the 3 WT rod as the tip protects the tippet. Still I prefer a heavier tippet so I can land the fish faster unless the fish are tippet shy.

Re: [VFB] Fishining this morning
Jack, I could do that if I had a Mono Leader. I have been using furled leaders for over 10 years. Not really able to do that with a Furled thread leader. I will be sure to have some larger tippet material if I get to fish it again. Maybe I can get my wife to get a longer appointment next time. LOL To be honest, I thought the pond might have a couple of Gills in it, never expected Bass. The pond is real small, more of a rain catch basin in the parking lot right in town, I would guess about 60' X less than 100'.

If you find yourself in that situation again, consider cutting back your tapered leader to a diameter that would allow you to land that big bass. Would cost you the price of a leader, which is less than the cost of a missed opportunity. jack Austin Anthony Spezio wrote: The reason I had 7X on was because I was fishing sz 26 midges for Trout on Tuesday.

I could not belerve she was already finished. Heading back to the van I made another cast and hooked up with a Largmouth. That made five Bass, two break offs and one miss.

Re: [VFB] Fishining this morning
Bass aren't at all leader shy. If you find yourself in that situation again, consider cutting back your tapered leader to a diameter that would allow you to land that big bass. Would cost you the price of a leader, which is less than the cost of a missed opportunity. jack Austin Anthony Spezio wrote: The reason I had 7X on was because I was fishing sz 26 midges for Trout on Tuesday. There was still a small Caddis hatch on and I was also using sz 16 and 18 tent wing Caddis. 6X would not work, trout were too finiky. I did not think about taking my vest with the tippit spools, I just grabbed the rod and a small box of flies. If I get to back to fish that pond again, I will have 4X on. Yes, I do have a problem tying on the small flies and the fine tippet.
