Sounds like fun, getting through winter is going to be even harder now.

Rod length or weight should not matter for setting the hook. Point the rod at fish and strip back hard with your line hand and try to pull their tonsils out like Panman says. If you jerk the fly out of his mouth he would have only thrown the hook anyway.

Use a similar technique for a light weight rod and take the hook set off the rod and into your stripping hand. You can add a bit of rod with a slight sidewards strike at the same time depending on leader/tippet strength.

Make sure your hooks are very sharp. I know that's obvious but sometimes we forget.
