Fly Lines for Fly Fishing

The Clark Fork in Montana

The fly line, along with the tippets and leaders used, is really important in fly fishing. Unlike in traditional spin casting, when fly fishing, it is the weight of the fly line that allows for proper casting. Use the wrong fly line weight and you can amusingly watch your flies land all over the place. Even worse, when you use a cheap or worn out fly line, you can also watch your sinking line submerge your dry flies.

For these reasons, having a good fly line, can literally make the difference between a productive day on the water and one of frustration.

All of the fly lines shown below are available through Cabela's.
