Its time to replace my fly line. There are so many new lines on the market it is difficult to make a choice. I have a Sage 5 wt SLT (9 ft). It is a moderately fast rod but has more flexibility than...

Good choice. It has a longer head length which allows for working the line with longer presentations. It's a very good all around line.

You should also take a look at the Scientific Angler's Nymph line. It is designed to cast heavy nymph rigs with strike indicators.

I agree with Terry. I fished a Sharkskin WF5 for a few hours, and while I thought it was a pretty good line, it's just NOT worth a hundred bucks, in my opinion. But I really like the Hook and Hackle...

I usually get either a line from Anglers Roost Enterprises in NY which is also a cortland fly line I am pretty sure, he charges a measily 10.00 for them, they cast well and have absolutely no memory,...
