I had the 6X on for the sz 14 flies I was using for gills. I use 6X
floro for trout also. I only carry 5 and 6X floro tippet so I went to
the 5X after breaking off with the 6X. I will post my fishing report for
today sometime tomorrow. I have been shut down from the time we got home
till just a few minuets ago. Had thunder all afternoon with just .2 of
rain. Wish it would of been 2".
Thanks for the invitation, might be able to take you up on it sometime.

Tony,
While I applaud you on sizing up to 5x, why not use 4x florocarbon? I
found it works as good as 6x for visibility and when I'm fishing a
#12, 6x gives me problems. Of course, you are the expert but why not
try it?
Also, if you ever get up to my cabin, there are big carp just in front
of the cabin in addition to small and large mouth bass and bream. Open
invitation.

Subject: [VFB] Fishing report yesterday( Long)

Toby hooked up and broke off. and when I hooked up that was it. Snap
went the tippet. I made a cast and the line went tight, snap again.
This time it was just the fly. Tied on another Al's fly, made the cast
and thought I had snagged a rock. Not so, snap. I was using 6X tippet
so I tied on some 5X tippet Made a cast and picked up a big Gill. On
the next cast I hooked up again and this time the freight train took
off. I raised my rod and it just made a stop. There was s big boil and
a roll then the line went slack. I made another cast and it happened
again. Hooked up to a freight train. I played the fish thinking it
might be a big Smallmouth till it about spooled me. I had about that
time decided it might be a Carp. It headed down towards Toby and he
got to see it. It was a large Carp. Toby tried to net it several
times, it was too big for the net. He finally got his hand on the tail
but could not hold on to it. The Carp made a run up creek and almost
spooled me again. It was touch and go for a while thinking I about had
it tired out. Worked it in pretty close and got to get a good look at
it. About the time I thought I had it ready to land, it made a run and
a roll and the line went slack. The sz 12 hook was totally
straightened out.
