Intro/Southern Utah flies/fly tying recommendations

A 4 wt shouldn't be any harder to cast than a 5 wt with a similar action. Just expect the range to be a bit less. Any estimate how far the line was going on the typical cast? The simplest answer is to just replace your floating line. However if you're going to be fishing mostly bigger lakes you might be better with your plan to upgrade to a 6 wt. Obviously that will be much costlier replacing the reel and both lines. Why did you go with a 4 wt rod in the first place?
