    I do use float agents and degrease agents at times, fullers earth being my all time favorite.

    Where do you get fuller's earth and how do you prepare it? Some have said water plus a little detergent?

    Is it just the clay from cat litter? If so, what brand?

    In terms of tippet size... I almost always use 5x with some exceptions... 6x for smaller flies (e.g. size 20 or smaller) and bright low water conditions or a presentation with micro currents that's dragging the fly(a piece of 6x helps but more so as it increase the leader lenght). I'll use 4x for larger flies and at dusk. I do almost never go to 7x. I find I break off a lot more fish with 7x or... I have to play them too long.

    They don't seem to see the 3x when fishing mice patterns. I really don't think the trout can see the tippet unless the tippet is causing the fly to drag, or the tippet itself is causing drag.
