Fly Fishing Help

[Arkitek]

hey guys and Guru's!!!
 
Been out fly fishing in my break at the harbour.....i think im getting the hang of things but i must say i have a long way to go. My biggest problem i think is my line...its a floating a line and it really doesnt cast that well especially since im out saltwater fly fishing too. I know i need intermediate or sinking line...........i wont be hitting surf so i think that intermediate line would be better so i can fish at the bay and in Umgeni River too. Unfortunately for me i have 5 to 6 wt fly rod matched with a reel. Some would argue that i need a 10 or even 12wt rod but i think the one i have will suffice.  Is there anyone willing to swop the floating line with intermediate line with me? theres only so much that having a longer leader can make my fly sink lol or am i missing some points here?

You will be able to catch with a floating line. DO NOT GET RID OF IT. You will need a floating line at some stage. Rather save up and buy a decent Intermediate line or  a Di2/3 line.

The trick is in finding the fish and what they are feeding on.

Good luck

I know this is an old post, however I would agree with FC here, you can get cheapish reels or just another spool for yours and ad some intermediate line to it. I prefer it to sinking, as it sinks just very slowly so you can control the depth better with it, or that is just my thinking...

DI 3 WF line and an Intermediate line are best for Durban Harbour, 6wt is perfect.
Floating line is OK, but I prefer an intermediate even for poppers.
 
Come have a chat with me at my boat, will give you some good pointers and spots
