As good as modern fly lines are, they should be replaced every now and then. When was the last time any of us replaced a fly line? I mean really just stripped off the line and retired it to the gardening supplies corner of the garage, not just throwing it in the drawer we reserve for might need it so I’m going to save it for a back-up.
What to do? Rather than depend solely on the experts, (why would we want to do this anyway) I decided to ramble a bit, talk about my personal reaction to these three fly line brands, and create a summary of lines a fly fisher should consider when gearing up for different fly fishing situations.
It was really nice for our friends to take the time to answer our questions. Rooster was dazzled by the answers, and honestly, after reading their answers, and as a modestly competent fly fisher (that’s my story and I am sticking to it), I thought I just wanted to go out and smack myself in the head with a rock. Those Q & A will be at the tail end of this blog post, for anyone who wishes to read the technical information they offered. Chris Daughter s, with the purest of educational intentions, invited knowledgeable folks who represent our big three (Rio, Airflo, and Scientific Anglers) to answer a few questions about their fly lines. As promised, this here blog entry is a humble attempt to sift through some of the mystery involved in our contemporary – and technically dizzying array of fly lines we have at out hand in our local fly shops and Internet Catalogs.
