Isn't 12 and 10 a little heavy for summer runs though? Preference I guess. I personally never go over 10lb mainline for summers. Not trying to start an argument or anything. Just saying, that during low water conditions, summer runs get pretty line shy.

Solution. Flourocarbon. 10 or 12 lb flouro, going light is tough cause summers are HOT and can break light leaders with the explosiveness

I fish 6lb flouro for summers at the cowlitz but early in the season summer runs are super aggressive will take anything, last year I had one take a huge gob of eggs on 17lb mono leader and a 2/0 hook

I've heard that works. I've never tried flouro much, not a big fan of it. I do fine on 8lb main and 6lb leader. Then again, the main river I fish for summers is really small.

I'll fish six lb. as well when it gets really low, and I almost never break off. 8 lb. is my go-to though, I hook more fish with it than I do with 10. If you have a smooth drag on your reel and you aren't fishing a super heavy/stiff rod, you typically won't break off unless you get wrapped around something or you are just being careless.

I just read a report that wasn't a great one, but Ill still give it a go. Probably Thursday now.

No....On the way to the river I got really sick....I'm still sick, and I can't fish for at least another 10 days cause of that. Oh well, didn't miss out on much. The river was pretty high.
