Took the 3wt out to willow again this morning. Arrived to a very stiff south wind and fairly cold air. My main "to do today" was to try a couple different lines that Joni gave me.[
] First was the 4wt. The rod is 71/2 ft and it didn't like that line much. I'm not sure if it was my crappy casting or if it was the wind, but I couldn't keep the back cast up. The roll casts weren't all that great either.[blush] No fish on the 4wt.
Changed reels and tried the 3wt. What a difference. The back cast was still crappy, but the roll casts was much better. Did I mention that I HATE the wind? I think this line is called SuperFine but I maybe wrong. It is a small diameter and white in color.
Was able to reach a couple fish with this one and they bit on my Hares Ear.[
]
I will wait for a less windy day and try the 4wt again, but it is going to be hard to beat the 3wt line I think. Thanks Joni. What an asset you are to our community.
