That happens when I start the forward cast too fast, before the line has completely played out behind me in the back-cast. If I start the forward cast too quickly, the end of the line cracks like a bull-whip. The fly is gone more times than not. The size of the fly line shouldn't matter, directly. Usually, the larger the fly lines, the larger the flies. 4x may be too small/limp to turn over a larger streamer, 2 or 3x might be better for a size 4 cone-head bugger, or something like that. Good luck! David,
