Dave reposted that whole damn thing just to add "Thanks Mike", which
makes him every bit as clueless and stupid as your typical top-poster.
My mentioning this should not be construed as being "bothered" by it.

I wasn't going to weigh in on this thread, but since my name has been
invoked I will.

I lived on the Lamar River, have fished every friggin' foot of it
from the Mirror Plateau to the confluence of the Yellowstone and,
stories from Canuckian guides notwithstanding, I have NEVER found
it necessary to make a 65' cast to catch a fish. That's silly.

Having said that, I can cast a 5WF farther than a 5DT with the
same fly rod and I think that's why some recommend WF lines to
beginners. I no longer buy anything but DT.
