Re: 3Wt. Fly Line
Steve's advice is right on, its almost like he teaches fly fishing or something. (teehee) I've got a 3wt line that I love (SA XPS), but its one with a long front taper for delicate presentations, which would be quite frustrating for your purposes. The reason why is that this front taper is around half the distance you say your normal cast would be. This would be a problem for the same reason Steve suggested a 4wt might be a better choice- a 3wt line with a long front taper will cast like a 2.7wt line with less than 15' of line out.
Ok, enough techno-babble on fly lines. I also think the color of the line doesn't matter all that much. I basically look at lines as "Bright" or "Not bright". If you wanna be stealthy, neon orange might not be the best choice. Greys, tans, greens, and such would be a sneakier approach. But once again (from mr.-self-contradictor) I have caught more fish on a neon orange line than any other. (though its due to fishing time with it more than anything else)
