Wet Fly Fishing: Trouble with Roll-Cast?
I use "Scientific Angler: Wet Tip" Fast sinking tip fly line. After casting the line out and allowing the roughly 9 ft sinking tip to submerge, it is impossible for me to false cast from that point. The submerged line will resist being pulled back. I tried a roll cast but the submerged line would resist being casted further. Any tips?
Roll casting and sinking lines, whether they are intermediates or full sinkers is NEVER a good combination, it works best with a floater, because even though the waters tension is needed, too much tension and your putting too much pressure on your rod and you risk snapping the tip, with midge tip type lines, ive never had a problem, the key is to not have too much line in the water if your using intermediates and full sinkers, it will mean more false casts to aerialise fly line, but its better in the long term, when you come to the end of your retrieve speed it up to get it closer to the surface then make your cast, dont try to roll cast with intermediates, also most full sinking lines are DT lines, these fish allot better on tip action rod, if its a WF sinker a medium to fast action will most likely suit you better, but with practice a tip action rod should be able to give you better distances with a DT line. This should be able to help you out allot, dont let the name stop you it is fly fishing
