Unlock the Potential of Your Single-Handed Fly Rod with Single Handed Fly Lines

A good fly line isn’t just a fishing line – it’s the vital connection between you, your fly rod, and the elusive fish you seek. That’s why we offer a carefully curated selection of single-handed fly lines to suit a variety of fishing styles, rod types, and water conditions.

Navigating the world of fly lines can be overwhelming, but we are here to guide you through the different types of lines available and help you find the one that perfectly complements your single-handed fly rod.

Choosing the Right Single-Handed Fly Line

Here are some key factors to consider when selecting a single-handed fly line:

Line Weight: It is absolutely crucial to match your rod with the correct weight of line. A line that is too heavy for the line rating of your rod will overpower it and severely  hinder casting performance, while a  line that is too light won’t load the rod properly, limiting casting distance and accuracy. We stock lines in a wide range of weights to suit any single-handed fly rod you’re likely to use.

Line Type: There are three main types of fly lines to consider:

• Floating Lines: The most versatile choice when fish are feeding higher in the water column or are looking up. They allow your flies to fish on the surface or just below, perfect for dry flies, emergers, spider patterns and nymphs for example.
• Sinking Lines: Ideal for reaching fish holding in deeper water or fast-moving currents. Sinking lines come in various sink rates, allowing you to present flies at specific depths. These are great for streamers and lures, weighted nymphs and wets, and for targeting trout on stillwaters, when fishing at the correct depth can be crucial.
• Spey Lines: Designed for single-handed Spey casting, a specialised technique for tight quarters or reaching distant fish. Spey lines feature a unique weight distribution that enables long casts without having to worry about bankside vegetation or trees behind you as is often the case when making overhead casts.

Line Length: Most single-handed fly lines come in lengths between 85ft and 100ft. The ideal length and taper depends on your fishing style and the size of the water body you’re fishing. We can advise on all the key characteristics to consider.
