So I was at green timbers yesterday
Fly Fishing kinda regret it Should of brought my spinning rod
Anyways I was fly fishing with a indicator tried zebra midge
Prince nymbos and a hares ribbed ear
I'm using Scott g series 4wt
What flies do you guys recommend I know a wooly bugger would be one.
And I can't cast far the gear fisherman went to the deepest end casted far within 5mins she got one lol thanks
-
I can cast far with my 8wt Winston vsl but not with this rod
-
A 4wt will generally cast less far than an 8wt (it provides less power) though a good caster will be able to get decent distance (70+ feet) with either.
What line are you using on each rod?
-
For my 8wt it's the line that comes in the verisii tip the new one
And my 4wt I don't know but it' is matched since the guy I bought it from used it for a long time
It's a stealth reel it's old so not to interested in upgrading the line on it might buy a new reel
-
If you are using the wrong line on the 4wt then it will be very difficult to cast (overloading or underloading the rod).
Either that or take casting lessons :P
-
A 4 weight Scott G series isn't for designed for long casts, it's a noodly rod that's best for light presentations at close ranges. With an indicator on its going to be tough to get it out very far unless you are a decent caster with good timing and even then it will only go so far. As Typhoon said get some lessons and/or use the 8wt instead!
-
I can cast far with the 8wt I'm happy with that but the 8wt is to big for the normal grout at green timbers
-
Better keep working on your casting then, there's no short cuts apart from maybe getting some lessons:)
