I recently wrote about varying your line weight to match the conditions you’re fishing in.
Choosing the proper fly line weight is important because in fly fishing it is the line that is being cast, rather than the lure. The dynamics between the length and action of your fly rod, the weight of the line and the size of the fly are all important for accurate flycasting, for control of distance, and for delicate presentation of your fly pattern.
An excerpt from Brett Fogle’s Fly Fishing Secrets, covers how to choose fly line weight (and, indirectly, rod size) based on the sizes of fly you plan to use - even going so far as to recommend specific line weights for different conditions.
