Thanks to everybody for the tips.. I think I will just go with the weight
forward...and.... keep practicing casting these heavier (or more wind
resistant) flies I want to try this year.. Chuck

I have also found that different Fly Lines; although weight forward are
better than others. GO with a quality line from Orvis or other big names. Stay
away from "Walmart Specials". Orvis 3rd Generation flows real smooth and has
almost no memory. I use it as well as Rio and others. They are worth the 50-60
bucks. You can get them cheaper on EBay, tho'

Folks: I heard about "bass fly line". and so I looked it up to see what
the deal is, and it says it is specially tapered to cast heavy and/or wind
resistant flies. The ones giving me the most trouble.. Is it really worth the
$60 or so for a special line like this over my Weight Forward line??? Will I
REALLY be able to tell a difference??? Thanks, Chuck
Chuck:
I agree with Mark, all I've ever used is a weight forward line. I use
WF's on all my rods.
