Home Forums Fishing Flyfishing How far can you cast?

I can hit 70-80 feet with my Scott Radian 9' 6 weight and Rio Intouch Gold. Gold is a .4 over weight fly line. I'm going to get Rio Outbound Short for throwing big streamers more easily than with the Gold and I don't doubt I'll be able to cast 90-100 feet with that line. It's a 2 over weight line with a shooting head and a bunch of running line, it's made for distance. Distance is about the individual and casting stroke though. The stiffest fastest action broom stick rod with a shooting head won't make a difference if the operator doesn't know how to use it.
