What a load of B****cksWhat a load of B****cksOk.For a start, what has been said above is total rubbish. You definatly do NOT need an 8 or 9 weight line to cast a 'decent' distance. In National Casting competitions I have personally cast 35 years with a 4 weight. I agree that a 7 or 8 weight is probably best for most of the stillwater trout fishing though. Also, DO NOT use the heaviest weight fly line your rod will take. It all depends on your casting style. It is a personal choice.Also, what was said about you not needing an intermediate line is absolute rubbish! If you want to pull flies at any sort of speed somewhere near the surface, intermediate lines are needed. They are also perfect for keeping flies close to the surface without creating a disturbance.Finally, a line marked as MS is NOT an intermediate.Thank you!!!
