Jerry: Heavy as in clousers, or bigger sized wooly buggers that have 30 wraps of lead or so. I am using a 5wt slow action rod, and 6wt weight forward line..But I have a 9 ft 6 wt rod that is fast action that I am gonna try them on. Just that that old rod I have had since the 70's I think. It is fiberglass and weighs a ton compared to my new rod, Chuck

Are they heavy such as clousers or heavy as in air resistant such as poppers, or deer hair heads. Have some thought depending on what you are doing ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ----- Original Message ----- From: Chuck Alexander To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, December 21, 2006 5:11 PM Subject: [VFB] Casting heavy 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- No virus found in this incoming message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
