what weight rod you using Ed?
I can chuck most the sw flies in my box on a seven weight regardless of the size, as long as they aren't weighted. shrimp patterns with lead bodies just collapse at my feet or wrap around my head, and i have to go up to my nine weight. even resoanable sized clousers are handled pretty well on a seven weight. just how big/heavy a fly are you throwing?
as liamdenneh said the flies don't have to be huge, most of my fish(not that i've caught countless!) have been caught on suprisingly small, and sparse patterns.
Cheers,
Patrick
