Ain't always the weight. Many times it's the drag of the fly in the air. That 3 weight my have a heck of a time overcoming the drag of a #8 or #10 Wooly Bugger. I use a 3 weight for 'gills and sunnies once in a while, and it'll toss a #10 foam bug just nicely, but has a hard time throwing a Bugger on the same size hook.
Ahhhhhhhhh, I see. so a sparser fly will cast better than a heavier hackled one, and a weighted heavy hackled one is best left to my 5 wt. Right?
