Dying a Fly Line

[quillg]

I dyed my Wulff TT from white to olive 2 years ago with RIT and it still looks as good as it did the day I bought it.

I boiled about 1 gallon of water, disolved the dye, added cold water to cool it down (you don't need it too hot, just a little hotter than what comes out of your faucet). Place the line loosely coiled in the dye bath until you get the shade you want, rinse with cold water.

It doesn't take long so don't leave it sitting.

how much are you spending for the trip.... how much is a new flyline....

I received a brand new dayglo Airflo with a reel purchase last year and it was a little to bright for me. I bought Rit liquid forest green and it turned the line chocolate brown. It was a little to dark. I would leave it in for very little time. Let us know how it turns out! John
