Rod Size: 9ft #4 or #5 weights

Tippet Size: 3-5X

Leader: 9ft 4X

Best Techniques: Stripping streamers in the tube or under the indicator

Dries: Didn't see much up top, but maybe ant patterns

Streamers: Didn't matter, but maribou leeches were getting grabs.

No recent reports. I'll probably drag the tube up here at least once more before the season ends.
