Fiberglass fly rod and Orvis "Hydros Bank Shot Float"fly line at Prospect Park Lake

I tested the Orvis "Hydros Bank Shot Float." again today with a 3-piece, 7'6" 4/5 wt fiberglass fly rod.  The rod felt a little bit overmatched but it did throw the line. 

The only fish that are active are immature Bluegills.  Armed with only blood worm flies, I fished

the lake at Prospect Park. I hit all the known places that hold panfish at this time of year.

Fiberglass fly rods are fun to fish.  They are nearly indestructible and can cast a number of different

weight fly lines. Right now I have used an 8-weight fly line on a variety of different-weight glass fly rods.

This is the fly I've been using.

I plan to fish the"Hydros Bank Shot Float." fly line with an 8 wt graphite fly rod.  I have a March Brown fly rod I will test to see if there are any differences in casting.
