I was looking for a fly line review to find a line that is delicate high floating slick preferable mint green or white in color durable crack resistant and dt 3 when i stumbled into this review. That long front belly allows you to hold more line in the air and can translate to exceptionally long casts.

I have to hand it to you it was quite an undertaking and well done. One thing we found interesting about cortland lines including lines made by cortland like teeny is that they are a little bit heavier than their cousins at rio and sa for similar tapers. Greater density means that they probably don t float as well as their competitors. I am not going there.

I ll be the first to admit that i am not a huge fan of many of the fly lines made or distributed by cortland. This is my review of several cortland fly lines that i have fished in 2017. My short conclusion is that cortland in general performs at a very high level and i have full confidence in these lines. The trajectory the sport is madness.

It loads smoothly and consistently and is perfectly suitable for longer leaders and accurate delicate presentations. With the recent purchase of the pontoon boat and the subsequent exploration of arizona s stillwaters i found myself in need of picking up some intermediate fly line in order to work the high country lakes in search of some trout.
