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.
