5x??? You must be joking. No one on ROFF uses anything finer than 3x. You
see, it stresses the poor fish too much. :-)

As far as 7x, the less said the better.



Sadly, it was decided just last weekend that I should cancel a planned month
( I would have gotten to Hayspur today ) at Silver Creek/Big Wood.
Unexpected home repairs, fuel prices, and college costs ( huge ) ganged up
on my budget enough to make such a trip ill advised, if not really
'impossible.'

Run down to Silver and catch one for me on a Mahogany Dun, will ya? ( If
ya have to use 7X, that's OK, but the less you mention it, the better :-)



WARNING to any ROFFIAN youngsters still raising families .... college costs
are incredible, start saving NOW .... we thought we were fairly well
prepared AND the kid earned a lot of money in academic scholarships, but
it's still a very large hunk of change each year. ( I figured out I could
go in my months long, but cheapy camper, summer fishing trips for a DECADE
for the money we have to pay each YEAR to higher.edu. )
