Chuck,
I would guess you are not letting the rod "load" on
the back cast. If the fly is dropping too much, try
casting in a upward motion on the back cast. Without
seeing what you are doing, it is only a guess.

I see... Then what am I doing wrong, as I have a
harder time casting these
flies on my softer rod than my stiffer one??? I
think it may be in that
"slowing down" tip... I keep thinking that if I slow
down it's (the big fly)
gonna make a splashdown (I fish in a boat LOL) on my
back cast, Chuck
