Nice goldens. I'll bet they'd rise to a dough ball fly.
"Should you cast your fly into a branch overhead or into a bush behind you, or miss a fish striking, or lose him,or slip into a hole up to your armpits-keep your temper; above all things don't swear, for he that swears will catch no fish."

Justin, you might be surprised... When I first got my TFO Finesse 3-wt, I yard cast it and found that my very best casts were about 60 feet with that (mind you, I don't believe I had a leader on, so that might change the equation some).

I feel like with my one time casting the 8wt, it was certainly the furthest I have cast any rod (with shoulder pain the day after to show for it), so probably in the 60-70 foot range... and you were clearly shooting more line than I was, so I'll bet that your fly was traveling close to 90'....

Now John on the other hand... well, that guy can Shoot!
Fishing is the most wonderful thing I do in my life, barring some equally delightful unmentionables.
