practice my french/spanish leader setup, however i have gone with a much thicker line, did this to see and feel the difference and to my surprise it did work alot better, now to downsize a little. wont mention the thickness because someone will kill me here if a had to mention it, it was 0,6mm. hehehehe, but as someone here said, "you have experiment and see what works for you", doing just that.
best fly for the day was the black mayfly tied on a jig hook with a orange 2,5mm tungsten bead.
