Thanks for all of the comments. Food for thought. We've always done great with the furled leaders but thought it would be fun to experiment.
I kept the leader and tippet the same, but was trying bead-heads, flies with lead wire, flies with no weight, etc. I even put a small split shot on and moved it up and down the tippet to see if anything made a difference. Not even the Shameless Hussy could bring them in (should have given one to Suz).
I bet you all are right that Suz spent more time in the zone than me, and that differences in tippet and leader are important.
Being cute probably doesn't hurt either -- and just try and take her rod when it's catching fish [
