Thinking back to the day we were fishing the Little Lehigh on the day we were getting major wind gusts. Fishing with nymphs and indicators, I was doing a lot of sidearm casts, trying to keep the line down and as far out of the wind as possible. I was using my 5 wt at the time.
Heritage Angler, I thought I heard you mention something to Foxgap at the time about wishing you had your 7 wt. Was that because the heavier combination (rod/line) would be easier to cast in the wind? Or just personal choice of a different rod that you liked better for windy conditions?
Anyone else want to chime in?
Since I just got my 7 wt back from Klyloe this week, I can now get it set up with the furled leader I bought for it and get some practice with it.
Suggestions for leader to come off the furled leader?
Comments in any of the questions? (Be nice - I am a neophyte, after all)
Thanks,
Dave
