Fly Fishing Fly Lines: The Heart of Your Angling Presentation

The correct choice of fly line is absolutely key when it comes to presenting your fly in an effective and realistic manner. Your target species and where you fish will determine what line you need. For trout, salmon, predatory pike or for exotic saltwater species in warm waters, whatever your quarry, we can help ensure you have the perfect fly line for your next fly fishing trip.

With such a choice of lines available it can seem daunting choosing the right one. But it is essential to your success, whether you’re a seasoned and accomplished angler looking to gain that extra edge or a curious newcomer taking your first steps into the world of fly fishing. Here at Fin &  Game we can talk you through our range of top-quality fly lines and help you make the right decision.

Finding the Right Fly Line for Your Needs

Fly fishing lines come in various types, each with unique properties suited to different fishing styles and conditions. Our extensive selection caters to both single-handed and double-handed fly rods, for freshwater and saltwater, ensuring you find the perfect line for your chosen technique.

Here’s a breakdown of some key fly-line features to consider:

• Weight Forward (WF): A popular type of fly line, featuring a heavier head section for efficient casting and a lighter running line for shooting and smooth retrieval. Ideal for all-around freshwater fly fishing.
• Double Taper (DT): Offers excellent line control and delicate presentations, perfect for dry fly fishing on smaller waters.
• Shooting Heads: Designed for long-distance casting on large bodies of water, like saltwater fly fishing. Or in freshwater for salmon fishing using double-handed rods where throwing large flies in strong winds is required, or in lighter weights and tapers when a more delicate rod and  presentation is the order of the day.
• Sinking Lines: Ideal for fishing deeper when it’s required, available in various sink rates for different water conditions on both stillwaters and rivers.
