Default fluorocarbon with lowest index of refraction

Hello to all the nuts in ROFF cocktail bowl. Univ of Michigan retired
its NNTP servers and I don't want to go through the hassle of setting
up something through my cable modem provider. So please send any
response directly to my yahoo account.

Does anyone know which brand of fluorocarbon tippet has the lowest
index of refraction and what that number happens to be?

P.S. I too went to the fly fishing show in Pleasanton this weekend.
$22 for parking and admission but small price to pay for temporary
relief from cabin fever.

Hi Mu,

Just a guess, but Seaguar has a good shot at being the answer. It's my
understanding, they're the inventor of fluorocarbon lines.

PS, cabin fever in Ca.??

It's been raining out here the last two weeks, maybe a few hours break
in-between.

Mu, do you ever get out to the Campbell fly-casting ponds?
fwiw,

I haven't been there. I did go to Lake Amador on Saturday and trolled
a Jay Fair fly for about 2 hours on a 7 wt intermediate clear line.
Caught 5 trout in the 3~4 lb class. Kind of crazy when you think
about it. It was a bright sunny day and the fish were up on top. I
didn't have any more line out than my fly line (90 ft) behind a dinky
8 hp Suzuki outboard on that rental boat that was really noisy. Plus
it was my first time on that lake. Don't know if I was very lucky or
if the fishing is always that easy on that lake. These fish do look
very beautiful unlike typical hatchery trout. They fight like halibut
though. As soon as I hooked one I had no trouble reeling them in.
They didn't fight much at all until they saw me. That's when they
begin to bulldog. They are some sort of hybridized cuttbow designed
to grow quickly. Saw a pair of fly fishers in kickboats but it looked
like a whole lot of kicking though one of them did pick up a fish or
two.

Service at the resort is extremely friendly. Sort of a throwback to a
different time in American society. Very nice staff. It would be
agreat place for a family style fishing trip.

Afterwards I drove over to the lower Stanislaus below Tulloch
reservoir and waited for a hatch but the park closes at sunset so the
ranger kicked me out before the bug activtiy got underway. Supposed
to be some good sized fish there but it was my first time so I still
have no sense of what the fishing there is like.
