Fly Line Question

[Silver Creek]

My recollection is that sinking lines are typically called Intermediate ( usually a clear colored, slow sinking line mostly for stillwater ), Class II or III for relatively slow sinking rates, or Types IV, V, or VI with each higher Roman numeral indicating a faster sinking rate. And the designation would include an "S" in the description.

My best guess is that you have a WF floating line with the "G" indicating it is a general purpose line. Follow the link, which may be what you have.

An easy way to remember and use the sink rate of sinking fly lines is use the line "type" as the sink rate in feet per 10 seconds. For example, a type 2 sinking line that sinks at 2-3 inches/sec, sinks at about 2 feet for ever 10 seconds.

So if you have a type 4 line and you want to fish 6 feet deep, count for about 15 seconds before beginning your retrieve. Since a type 4 line sinks at about 4-5 ips, it sinks about 4 ft per 10 secs or 6 ft in 15 sec.
