fished this week-end 3 days catching very large coppernose hybrid and few shellcrackers. my fishing companion is not a purist, he will fish with anything, but this time we were flyfishing only. first 2 days he outfished me 8 or 10 fish to one and i am supposed to be the flyfisherman? i was using strike indicator with untapered flurocarbon as suggested on some earlier post. late on the second day i realized he was using a least 9 feet of the untapered fc and no indicator. i changed to same and began holding my own late 2nd day and outfishing him the third day. i was suprised at how well the long p line fluorocarbon cast but not really sure why it made such a drastic difference.
suggestions???
