very good point. im sure that's the case for most normal fisherman. i am not normal. ive been wired to use light my whole life. id like to think I can cast in tight quarters with my light tackle just as well as using a 4wt of mine. But I've also been using light stuff for over 15 years so I'm bound to get reasonably good at it from time to time.
ill use a 3wt when on Kettle Creek or the Loyalsock but that's about it. Pine Creek gets a 5wt, and its uncomfortable for me. im sure its the longer presentations, the heavier line and monotonous cast after cast situations like on Pine. People think im crazy.. they are likely right.
And you show me a wild/brookie chaser that doesn't end up in trees, logs, hemlock, ect. from time to time and ill show you someone who is a great story teller.
