Perfect Fly Fly Lines
When you cast, you do not cast a fly - you cast a fly line. It is the
weight and momentum of the line that propels the cast. If you
don't have the right weight line for the fly rod you are using, you
are not going to cast well. In that respect the line is just as
important as the fly rod. It is also important for you to have the
right type of fly line for the particular method of fishing you are
going to use.
There are hundreds of fly-lines on the market. You can buy them
that are designated to be for just about every type of fishing it is
possible to do with a fly even though they are all basically the
same thing. Rather than to try to dazzle you with a lot of
marketing lip gloss, we have focused our efforts on making the
best fly lines possible for their intended use.
Fly Line Color:
We think the color or a fly line can make a big difference in one's
success. Although one purpose of a leader is to hide the fly line
from the fish, it doesn't always accomplish that. Wherever the
line is on the water, it is capable of spooking or alerting nearby
fish of its presence. It just makes common sense that from the
fish's point of view, the better the line blends in with the
background, the less conspicuous it is.
Over the years we have asked many of the best fly-fishing
anglers in the country if they thought the color of a fly line make a
difference in alerting fish. Every single one of them replied that
they thought it could. None of them preferred brightly colored fly
lines and neither do we. Never-the-less, in recent years the
trend, dictated purely by fly line manufacturers, went from
subdued shades of colored fly lines to bright, even fluorescent
colors of fly lines.
The advertised theory behind that change stressed the
importance of being able to see your fly line well even though
anglers have really never had much of a problem seeing any
color or shade of color fly line. Fly line manufacturers are always
trying to come out with a new angle to convince anglers that they
need a new fly line. We think the bright, fluorescent colored lines
were an insult to the intelligence of many anglers.
Fly Line Surface:
For years fly line manufacturers tried to outdo one another by
claiming their fly line was slicker than the others. Therefore it
provided less friction shooting through the guides of a fly rod
and cast farther. They also claimed that the slick finish of
floating fly lines held less dirt and therefore floated higher. Both
of these theories make sense. The problem was everyone was
capable of making slick fly lines and all the manufacturers did
just that.
Recently the dazzle-dazzle trend is just the opposite concept.
The rough finished fly lines or those similar to the skin of a
shark would better accomplish those objectives. These fly lines
cost much more not because they were necessarily more
expensive to make but certainly because it required a whole
new huge marketing and advertising program to promote it. In
our opinion, that is what you are probably paying for, not a more
expensive to manufacturer fly line.
Fly Line Tapers:
The taper of the fly line is of utmost importance to how well the
line cast and how flies are presented.
