BG,

Sinking lines are no harder to cast than floating lines, really.

However, picking them up to cast takes some attention. I prefer to fish out all my casts with them, when possible, and them recast the line 'fresh' for each presentation.

You can learn to roll cast the line to the surface to pick up more of it, just takes some practice (you'll get after a few tries).

At the depths you want to reach a shooting head system as Lee described might be your most efficient. I won't fly fish deeper than 20 feet, I'm too impatient, but it can be done very ably with a good sinking head.

Good Luck!

Buddy
