A Bit About Fly Lines

Your fly line is what enables you to cast effectively and deliver your fly to the fish, so choosing the right line is crucial. Your line must be a good match for the type of rod you are using, the sort of flies you wish to cast, and the environmental conditions you are fishing in.

Fly lines come in many different varieties, weights and taper designs - this is the shape of the line itself which influences exactly how the energy of your cast will transfer down the line.

For example, a line might be designed with a long, smooth taper to deliver small dry flies delicately. A line might also be designed with an aggressive front taper design for throwing large, bulky flies straight into the wind.
