I was using an 8wt with floating line. After reading some stuff on the net about the runs, etc I went with that setup. I tied on a 20lb mono line leader about 6' long. No need for a tapered leader or tippet since stealth are not important with this fish. Since the rope fly I was using was 6" long that setup seemed to work great. I found a combo over at Gander Mtn and it's working out great so far for this type of fishing!
I'm going to try my 5/6 this weekend with a shorter fly and see if that works as well!
And thanks for that link!!!!!
