The night prior I set my rigs up knowing I did not want to deal with knots and tiny flies in the cold. I knew I'd have compromised dexterity in such an environment so I wanted to do it the night before. While I had everything for my nymph set up, for my dry fly set up all I had was a 20 year old 7x leader I bought in Japan. That night I would test the strength of the line and it seemed okay. I'd tug on it and it held so I figured to try it. I'd buy some 6x leaders at Regan's before stopping at Mahogany's. Too lazy to re-rig I kept the old leader on with the hope it would hold. I was wrong and after losing two fish I put on the new leader. The new leader held up and we manged several fish to hand on dries before making camp. When planning this trip I wanted to camp in the snow at elevation just to test my equipment. Chul talked me out of it and we camped down in the valley.
