I was able to get out fishing yesterday and I had trouble casting a weighted streamer. I was using a six weight rod with a 5x 9 ft leader. The water level was much higher than expected so I opted to use a size 6 weighted streamer which I had never used before. On my back cast I could feel the weight of the streamer and it seemed manageble but the forward cast seemed to be lagging way behind the leader and would not cast smoothly without feeling like it was dragging. Is this a normal feeling or were my mechanics just off fornever havinbg fished weighted streamer before? Thanks Tom
