A change in fly line might account for a 5-10% difference in your experience...tops?  Unless you are going from a crusty old DT line to a short-head WF line, you'll probably find that extra practice makes your current WF line seem much better.  I've never been in a situation where a basic WF fly line of most common tapers wouldn't do the job as well as another.    

Hey, what's the matter with an old DT line.  

I would say that if you have something with a long front taper, going to a WF line would be good.  Also going to a stiffer, shorter leader might be helpful, but definitely working on casting will help the most.

Having been called out,  Are there any other casting instructors out there that want to start doing regular casting sessions again.  Since John has moved, we've lost some of the regularity of single handed casting instruction (thanks Regan for keeping the two-handers going strong).  

I know that a few of the CI's are very active in their day jobs (Art and Trent), so if you have a chance to do the Orvis classes I would jump on them. 


Oh,  Gene, I have a bluegill line especially for you, and it's only $60, comes in a ziplock bag and has been camouflaged by a special process involving duckweed and pond scum.
