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.

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.

*Subject:* [VFB] Fishining this morning
My wide has a double appointment at the doctors office this
morning and normally she will be there for a couple of hours.
I have permission to fish the pond alongside the parking lot.I
have never got to fish it because of time of the year or
having my appointment. It was overcast and real windy but I
gave it a shot. Tied on a Peacock and Bronze. Had nothing for
a while then I got a good fish on. I never did see it before
breaking off. I had some 7X tipprt on my leader and had no
other with me. Then I tied in a Peacock body nymph with a gold
bead head. That did yeild a couple of Largmouth Bass. The
takes were real slow, just felt the line tighten up and the
fish was there.
Had another take and when the bass came out of the water, he
broke off. Tied in a Peackock body bugger. When I turned out
of the wind, I noticed my wife back at the van waving me to
come back. 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.
Not bad for about an hour fishing.
