[black][size 3]Line color should make no difference. Your baits will be tied to leader material, and the fish do not see the line.[/size][/black]
[size 3][/size]
[size 3]About your "snapping" off flies, I would suggest taking your fly tackle out on the lawn, and watching the action of your line as you cast. Let your line straighten out behind you before you start your forward cast. Usually the problem most people have is trying to start their forward cast too soon. (slow down!!)[/size]
[size 3][/size]
[size 3]Just remember: 10 o'clock - 2 o'clock, 10 o'clock - 2 o'clock, watch your line, and see what it does. the longer the line you are casting, the more effort you exert on the cast, and the more time it takes for the line to complete the cast (both in front and behind you).[/size]

[size 3]That's your $2.00 casting lesson for today. Let me know how it works out.[/size]
