Hi Fozz,

What size flies are you fishing and how is the back casting space?

All the best

Hi Nick, Paul,

I will be fishing the highland lakes in Tasmania. Back casting space can be good or almost non existent as I will be be fishing from shore and or wading mostly. It nay get the odd run out in saltwater.

Streamers mostly, dries and dry droppers when a little distance is required.

Wind can be difficult.

Cheers Fozz

Hi Fozz,
I would also check out the trout standard.
A little bit shorter belly and front taper than the trout.

Cheers, Bart
