Modifying your fly line to beat the wind? - xumeng12 - 03-22-2011 Hi guys, Have any of you tried cutting off the front section off, all the way up to the belly of your typical flyline? I was told it improve the shooting capability of the line, it become a shooting head....it greatly improve the ability to overturn the leader better with heavier fly. What I am trying to overcome mostly is the heavy winds rather than the heavy fly. Is this a cure to overcoming fly fishing on windy conditions. Or should I just buy a shooting head and that is all I need. Do I miss out the stealth landing of a fly line without a front taper? Your comments are most welcome..
