Try slowing down your cast a bit. Give the heavy fly
time to straighten out the line on the backcast. Also
a softer rod helps.

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.
