Occasionally will go down to 6X, generally only during summer evenings when there are those tiny black smutty things on the water and I'm fishing close in through the reeds with flies down to 22 / 24 but usually I try not to drop below 4X, sometimes will go to 5x.

Cheers

For most fishing I was using either 4lbs or 6lbs ultragreen. After loosing a couple of big fish due to the weed issue on the don last summer went up to 8lbs. i use furled leaders with a short section of tipper and works for me. Will be sticking to 6lbs then upping to 8lbs later if weeds still an issue.
