FAQS: Fly Lines

What fly line is best for fly fishing?

The best fly line depends on your specific fishing environment and target species. For general trout fishing, a versatile 5wt fly line like the Scientific Anglers Amplitude Smooth Trout Fly Line is ideal. For saltwater, consider the Rio Elite Flats Pro Floating Fly Line.

What weight of fly line should I use?

The weight of your fly line should match the weight of your fly rod. For trout, a 5wt or 6wt fly line is common. For larger species or saltwater fly fishing, consider heavier lines like 8wt or 9wt.

How do I know what fly line to buy?

Consider the type of water you’ll be fishing (freshwater or saltwater) and the species you’re targeting. Matching the fly line to your rod’s weight and the fishing conditions will ensure optimal performance.

How do I tie a leader onto a fly line?

To attach a leader to your fly line, use a nail knot or a loop-to-loop connection if your line has welded loops. Both methods ensure a secure connection that won’t disrupt your casting.

Can you put fly line on a spinning reel?

While it's possible, it’s not recommended. Fly lines are designed for fly reels, which accommodate their unique thickness and taper. For optimal performance, use a fly reel specifically designed for fly lines.

What types of fly lines are there?

Fly lines come in various types, including floating, sinking, and intermediate. Each type serves a specific purpose, such as floating fly lines for dry flies and sinking lines for deeper water fishing.
