Hi!

I have beeen testing my fly line conbinatians.:
Rod Geys of Anwicks #5
Line Vision Extreme Distance WF5F

This combinaan seems does not work fine.
The rod is rather slow. Is #6 a better choice?
Any other recommendeed

If the rod seems slow, then you normally need a lighter line, not a heavier
one. Try a #5 DT, and use progressively more line until you find the "sweet
spot". This should be somewher about 60 feet of line. If the rod still
feels slow, go down a line size, and try again. Many people have problems
trying to cast slow rods, even with the right weight. Completely different
timing and power application is required.
