Can anyone give me a summary of the relationship between the X system

size that is. I'm vaguely aware that the material and diameter will
play a significant role, and I also know that I can just read it on
the spool, but my gear is buried kinda deep in the shed and its dark
out there....

I have read you have to use big flys in Mongolia. Taimen paterns
include muskrat, otter and various water foul imatations.
