I have been fly fishing for about 4 years on and off now, and i am thinking of getting into it a bit more and buying a new rod.
I am a reasonably good caster, but im wondering what # line rating i should be using.
I fish a small stillwater mostly, and up to now i have been using a 7 weight line but im wondering if a 6 weight line is better for this type of water. i tried my grandads 8 weight and i just didnt like the feel of it, felt a bit heavy.
should i get a 5/6 weight rod and use a #6 line or a 7/8 and use a #7 line?
What do you people recommend?
