What to do with a Level line?
I was going through the fly fishing supplies when I found a new unopened box of SA Air Cell L-5-F Lt green. I remember buying it off of ebay when I was new to the hobby and didn't understand the difference between the fly line profiles.
What do you do with this stuff? I am not going to fish it. Is it - Good to stabilize the garbage can linner at the bottom of the can?
- show others how to tie knots since it is thicker than mono?
- dust collector on top shelf of tying room?
What would you do with this stuff? I have a friend in Iraq that is a fly fisherman, but I wouldn't fish with the stuff so I don't even think that I should donate it to people to use as a fly line to fish with.
Looking for ideas before it hits the trash. I have many fly lines, one of the treasures found in the same look and see was a box of Rio Grand in a WF6F that I forgot that I had, new in the box. I also have an unfished 6 wt rod, must have been why I bought that, but don't remember when. It's good to look through your stash pile once in a while, you might be surprised what you find.

What to do with a Level line?
Clay,
I fish a level line a lot. I usually use it to
1. Nymph fish. The level line will turn over strike indicators and are great for "Tuck" casts.
I usually don't worry about being delicate with strike indicators and split shot.
2. Czech / Polish Nymphing.
3. Small streams for both dry fly and nymph fishing. I don't get the problem of the line
running back thru the guides when trying to cast short (5-10 ft).
4. Warm water fishing.
I also don't feel bad about constantly changing leaders since I'm not cutting any taper off the fly line. I've found many uses for a level line.

P.S. If you don't want the level line, I'll take it off your hands.
