I'm thinking the kind of flyfishing one does makes a difference.


And I would be inclined to agree. Most of my fishing is done with a 3 or 4
weight rod. However, I do make a great many fairly long casts--over 50
feet--and I like the feel and accuracy I get by using my index finger.

I don't put either my thumb or my index finger on top of the grip, or
any other finger for that matter. I hold the grip pretty much the way
I'd hold a hammer.
