I use a 7' 4 wt. Saying that ,what will fix your problem is learning to roll cast and a few single handed spey casts. With those casts in your arsenal you will never need to cast overhead.

I 'm foolishly going to try to chase mountain brookies this season. I say foolishly because I will wrap a tree limb in the middle of the Chesapeake Bay casting to stripers. Question for all the mountain men and ladies; what is best rod length? I know I want a slow/full action ( thinking about glass) and probably a 3wt ( for a couple reasons), but is 7 foot too long? I know how much harder a shorter rod can be to cast, but a 7'9" seems too long for close quarters. I've spent a lot of time in the mountains and along those streams, just not too much trying to cast feathers into them. Has anyone tried the Moonshine Rods? In Murray's Fly Shop I would trust but their mountain rods start north of $600. Something i'm not going to spend. Thoughts? Wisdom? Derision? Talk me out of it?
