Fly Fishing Lessons???

I agree with troutchaser! I have used many brands of flyline and the Wulff Triangle has become the line of choice, especially with the J3 coating. I have used this line for app. 3 months and when I clean the line there is no foreign material on the line, and this has been the case at least 3 times after fishing in water with a lot of junk on the surface.It does work as advertised!!

I will have to say that wolf triangle taper is a great line. However I will put Rio fly lines up against any other fly line. I do sell both in my store and have used both a lot and the Rio fly lines last the longest. You will not have to do any thing to the line plus with the agent x that they use in there fly lines make them the highest floating fly on the market. The density of water is one 1 so for an object to float on the water it has to have density less than 1. Most fly lines are .85-.90 and Rio's are a density of .6 which makes them the highest floating fly line on the market. which in turn will cause less drag on the water.

I'm not sure by what you mean when you say the fly lines are made stiff for the water out west and and the salt water flats. Because most fly lines are designed for out west and every fly line company have lines designed for salt water wulf's is the bermuda fly line.

Rio fly lines have there own triangle taper and it is called the wind cutter a great fly line. I belive that the reason that Rio fly lines have moved to the top in the last couple of years is the intergrated welded loop in the end of the fly line no more making the connectors or useing the prefab loops.

With the loop already made from the factory you'r fly line will stay sealed and not wick water and turn into a nice sink tip within a years time.but having choices is what makes the world go around. I hope that answers your questions. best of luck.

Hey, Thanks!

I appreciate the information. Maybe I'll look at Rio next time I need a new line.

To get back to the original purpose of this thread, I'd like to mention that one of the best things I ever did for my fishing skills was to show up at Taneycomo one day and just started fishing. I would talk to the guys and gals around me and tell them I was new at it, and I had half a day of free instruction. If you're open about wanting to learn, fly fishers are a helpful bunch, for the most part.

Wow, there is so much to know about so many things. I am knee deep in the archery scene and put a ton of effort and thought into things many people don't even think about. I can see that this is going to be the same way. My wife is going to shoot me.

At least you know when the arrow is coming at you. Ever been hooked in the chin by a wayward-casted #20 Blue Wing Olive?
