Good morning to all,

The real trick is to throw the heavy line and get the fish to bite it. That is when you know you are doing everything correctly. Right location, right time of day, right fly line, right depth, right fly. Its easy to get bit while using lite line, but isn't it more of a game to get bit on the heaviest line possible? Besides it has the two fold effect of being able to land a big fish once you have it on and the big diameter line allows you to land it in a shorter time frame to make the fish easier to revive.
