Hi Uli,
here are some thoughts of mine:
1. I have considered shortening the leader from Fly Line to Dry Fly, would this transfer more energy into the cast and thus hopefully turn over the set-up better?
- Yes this will help turning the flies over, but will increase the speed that the flies enter the water so might still be loud. Try aiming to a metre above the water. I know it sounds stupid, but might be that you are casting down onto the water which adds the noise. Aim higher and letting it float down might help
2. Should I mabye approach my casting differently, maybe focus on bigger loops?
- A belgian cast will help with multiple flies as the flies are never in the same plane. Backcast out sideways (maybe 45 degrees) then forward cast over your shoulder as normal.
3. Could the tippet length used from Dry to Nymph maybe be wrong?Too Long/Short, too thin/thick?
- Could be, but usually the length between then is set for the depth of the river, so a bit difficult to change as you will then be fishing too deep/shallow to what you want
4. Should I maybe use smaller Flies, I used a Size 12 Para RAB and a small believe it was a size 16 nymph? Is there a size correlation that needs to be considered in fishing a dry/dropper?
- i think those are fine. Shouldnt cause the problem from what i can see
