Fly Line Opinions

[slough foot]

I can't believe it, but my cat chewed the line on my fly rod and now I have to replace. The family won't let me use cat gut. I have a 9 foot 5 wt St. Croix Ultra Legend with a Ross Cimmaron reel. I fish mostly dry and shallow nymp out west forcutts. So send me your recommendations for a new line.

I've had great success with Rio Flyline.

Personally, I'd vie for the cat gut. A new cat is much cheaper. Sometimes free

nothing wrong with cortland 444 peach color

I've got the SA Mastery on two rods and the Cortland 444 on two others. Each performs well for me, but I must admit that teh Mastery series lines are more slippery and require less cleaning. I've heard lots of people are satisfied with Rio as well. I guess it would really be up to you as to how much you want to spend.

I have Scientific Anglers Ultra 4. I'm very satisfied, and it is just a good all purpose line.

I am willing to spend about $60 and will try ebay and other online resources. So far I can get Cortland 555 with a dyna tip for $40 with shipping. Any opinions on the 555?

Dear slough foot,

Yes, it's not half as good as the old 444 Peach.

Best Wishes,

I have reels spooled with RIO, SA, & Wulff Triangle Taper. I have no complaints about any of them. While I don't (yet) fish any Cortland lines, I'm sure they are fine too. Don't scrimp on a good line & all the companies mentioned make some very nice lines.
