New lines
Posted 05-15-2012 at 06:20 PM by ak allen
Today I went down to the fly shop and got line for the new rod & reel. Decided on Scientific Angler's Mastery Series Textured GPX in 9wt, due to the fact that I will be using this for larger fish, (Pike, Salmon, Steelhead) Also picked up a new line for my 5wt rig. Last night when I took it out I noticed the bad shape it was in.
When I got back home I spooled up the F1 and got all of that taken care of. Now I just need to get the furled leaders in and make some tippets for them. I also picked up a few small things that I have needed like a fly box, and filet knife, which were promptly "hidden" from me so Dakota has something to give me on my birthday.
Anyway, I hope to make one more trip out on the river before my leave is over. I need to catch some fish!

Sounds like your all set!! Good luck on getting into some good fish!!
I need to do new lines on all but one of my rods this season. Stretched the client rods through last season but don't think I can push it for another!
. The 7wt is good as I had to replace that at the end of the previous season.
