I agree with Yambag, even though every time I've had to say that I've showered immediately afterward and gone to confession. ;)
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.

I'm waiting for someone to market a "bluegill" tapered line and sell it to people for 80 bucks as offering various advantages. You heard it here first folks!

Rio Smallmouth line was recommended to me at Beaver Creek fly shop when I bought my first 8 wt a few years ago. Without having anything to compare it to, I always felt like it was a very good line. Casting is much easier than any of my other rods. However I like Yambag's advice to look into what you could improve on your casting form first.
