Now only use FC for dries (usually 9' - 5X) and add a few feet of 7X
FC to ensure a drag free drift. Found this combo to be the magic
solution to taking fish in heavily pounded waters.



Really? I would have bet that the disturbance in the film would be almost
as important as the refractive index.

As a tag on, the gauge of tippet can really have a factor on nymphs. The
bigger the profile, the more the current can have it's way on a nymph.
When I'm not getting hit on a 6x, I go down to a 7x.

The 7X FC sinks so there's no dimpling of the meniscus that shows up
like neon sign broadcasting, "Don't bite here."

(100 points for first use of meniscus.)
