I'm back to flyfishing after a 15 year break, funny the things you don't appreciate when your a kid.

I've just started aquiring gear this year, tying my own flies and have had a great season. On the Advice of a buddy I picked up a Cortland 444 clear intermediate line for fall stillwater fishing. THis is now the most expensive line I have at $90 Can.

I think I found my new favorite line of all my lines. I have a Scientific Anglers floating, Cortland 444 medium sink tip, and cheap full sink as well that I fish. I also have a couple of cheap walmart special lines that I don't fish very often that were given to me.

I'm finding that I can cast further and better with the more expensive / higher quality lines. Is this just another case of you get what you pay for? Is it purely in my head ? Or just possibly that my casting is improving each time I get out fishing?
