How did the spinning guys do?,last trip I caught more fish but they caught the larger ones.I don't use a sinking tip because the fish hit just below the surface 6-10 inches and since most of the day is spent juping from rock to rock I take only my 6wt and 8wt FTL but will try the STL will post results. I agree colour makes no major difference thats why I was a bit supprised about the blue, however, when it rains and tea becomes diluted they become mote picky.
