Beginner’s Guide to Fly Fishing Lines
Unless you plan on clubbing fish with your rod, you’ll need a line to bring him in. There are a few things you need to know about choosing fly fishing lines. This article will give you a few tips.
Taper
One of the first things you need to consider when choosing line is the taper. You’ll have to decide between weight-forward and double taper. If you prefer roll casting, then you’ll probably want to use a double taper line. Weight-forward lines are better suited for use in windy situations.
Floating
When choosing fly fishing lines, you also need to choose between sinking and floating designs. If you want to use a dry fly, you won’t have a choice as you will be forced to use a floating line that sits atop the water.
Lines that sink are better suited for fishing in deeper water. However, you’ll probably have to retrieve all of the line if you want to cast again. This isn’t a problem when the line floats.
Size
Another important consideration is the line’s size or diameter. Thicker lines will be more durable. However, they will also be easier for fish to spot. Lines that are thinner have the benefit of giving certain lures more realistic action.
The diameter will also play a role in the line’s stiffness. Although stiffer fly fishing lines are more sensitive to fish activity, they’re usually harder for you to cast. If you’re going after stronger fish, you should consider buying line that stretches more, so that it doesn’t break easily.
