Match, that kind of nymph set up is ugly to cast no matter who is doing it. A 7wt helps tho. The key to fishing it well lies with the rower. The guy at the oars should be adjusting the speed of the boat to keep a long drift going and keeping those flies whistling past his head as few times as possible. With a good rower you can really just drop the flies in the water beside the boat then follow them. That's why you'll see so many guided trips throwing strike indicators. The client can fish with almost no casting skill. You won't see them do it on their day off tho.
