Hey guys.
Like I said before I started fishing dry small flies to work my way up to the big bugs. Thats actually going great I landed my first brown on a stonefly the other day and had allot of fun. My presentation is still a little rude for trout fishing but that may be due to the 8wt being a little too much for the small flies.
I can get some wooly buggers out pretty good but I am still having trouble rolling over big streamers or anything with weighted eyes. I would really like to fish these flies for some bass on the D but it does me no good to only cast 20 feet in a 300 foot wide river.
Are there any tricks to big flies? Even if I put a ton of power into the cast it still wont roll over.
The leader I was using today was about 7' tapered leader. (started out a 9' but after knots and changing flies its now a lot shorter)
