Shorter rod, shorter head. I got in trouble by buying and 12'6" rod and a 70' head. The head should be no more than 4.5 times the length or your rod (though some will say 5 times).

Shorter head lines means you'll have to strip in more line. Scandi lines are great for lighter flies, Skagit lines for heavier flies.

With Scandi lines you'll need a Versi-tip leader. With Skagit lines, depending on the length of your rod, you might need a cheater (a line extension), and a special leader.

Also, forget the Mackenzie style of casting with shorter-head lines.
