Not as epic as Dave's trip, but enjoyable just the same. I tried a 6wt 444 SL on my Leonard 66H today. I think Steve must have build this with a Leonard blank, looks right, fishes as described in the literature I can find, and I think it's a true 6wt. The 10' taper on SL was a bit long in the 20mph wind today. Wishing I still had a Peach, I think that might be the line.
Took my two favorite boxes, hare's ears and wet flies. I forgot my hairwings on the bench.
Fished one of the few winged hare's ears I was happy with out of the vice last winter on the top dropper.
The march brown softhackle on the middle dropper accounted for most of the fish.
and of course a beadhead hares ear anchor fly.
They all worked to hook up some cute little fish.
