I have been fly fishing for almost two years, and I am basically self taught. I just bought a new TFO TiCr X rod (without ever trying one), and am anxiously waiting for it to arrive. I can currently cast about 15 yards with my bass pro combo. I learned early that I catch more fish when I am not casting so I focus more on mending and presentation. I have been in some situations where I could not reach my target. I am going from a 5 wt. to the TFO in a 4wt 9foot rod. I have also started praticing in my yard which has definetly helped. My hope is the new rod will increase my range.

My question to you guys is what should I expect distance wise, and what kind of distance is possible for an excellent caster?

Thanks!

Jason
