Colt45,

You can go by what works for you on this one. If your casting style is such that the leader (Stren, Trilene, etc.) straightens out and turns over your fly, you've got it made in the shade. If it lands in a pile of leader material, back to the drawing board. BTW, I wouldn't go any lighter that 8lb test since it's hard to tell when the bass are going to make an appearance. 8T

You had better learn to be a happy camper. You only get one try at this campground and it's a real short camping season.
