Dave: Yeah, I pierced her ears.. Funny you should mention that cause
seriously, I showed one friend of ours some flies, and she said I should tie
them in pairs, cut off the ends of the hooks and sell them for ear rings..
She wants me to tie her some "ear rings" LOL, Chuck

DonO: I'll try that... I have just been trying to fish them like the
lighter flies, and yes, I have ended up with them in my lap, caught in my
cap and even caught my WIFE in the ear earlier this year LOL.. So, you can
see why I need to learn to cast them.. The doghouse gets cold this time of
the year, Chuck

Chuck,
Most casting ills are created by the backcast. If you're not
picking the fly up with power and authority, your forecast will have no
energy to deliver the fly out any distance. You must be able to deliver the
fly into the backcast properly or the problems will start to compound, and
you'll end up with the flyline draped across your lap and the fly hooked in
your hat or head. False casting with heavy flies needs to be kept to a
minimum- at best-none. But the weight of your rig determines how heavy is
'heavy'. A big weighted hare's ear is a lot for a 3wt, but nothing for an
8wt., and so on.
It's hard here to diagnose what we can't actually observe. Your
problem could be one thing, a couple, or many. But you do have to have a
strong backcast with a lot of energy to make the front cast work. High
speed and a tight loop isn't always the best thing for fast-moving heavy wet
flies.

Folks: I noticed the other day that I am still having a heck of a
time casting flies with any weight to them at all. They just want to "lob"
out a very short distance.. I don't know what I'm doing wrong.. I tend to
want to do like a lure and caster harder, and that just makes things worse..
Any pointers would be appreciated. Thanks, Chuck
