I am a newbie to fly fishing and I started with a TFO BVK 8wt. I really like it and have been spending a bunch of time after work learning the basics and improving my casting.
I really liked the first TFO rod so much when I came across a good deal on a TFO 5wt I rushed into it and purchased it.
It seems like the saying March Winds held true this year. Every time I went to practice the wind was blowing. It wasn't affecting my casting so much with the 8wt as I was getting use to it but with the 5wt I can barely cast 10 ft of line in the wind. I just don't feel the rod load the same way I do with the 8wt.
anyone have some suggestions?
