Cleaning your fly line is very important especially when fishing saltwater. Simply pull line off your reel into a clean bucket or tub of freshwater. Put roughly 1oz or more of Cortland’s Line Cleaner solution onto a clean rag or towel. Firmly squeeze the towel with Pro Line Cleaner around the line and slowly pull line through the towel. You should be able to see dirt or discolored streaks on the towel when finished.

This line casts very nice especially on slower action rods, very accurate and it lands gently if you want to up your game in the mountains get this line. I have also had no problems with the durability of this product or excessive line memory, thank you.
Well. I put together a new setup. Wanted all USA made. Winston rod, ross reel. Cortland Line. I like that concept. Cortland is not too far from where I live. So supporting them feels great. Now. I fish a bunch of different lines from other manufacturers. Some I like, some not as much. I do like the classic Cortland 444, this finesse trout line. To me, if you had more people blind test these lines, they would impress more anglers than you would expect. I think they're that good. As my other lines wear out, I plan to switch them out with cortland lines.
Excellent customer service and an excellent product all around.
Lands super soft on the water and casts like a dream
Long taper provides very nice presentation and the line is a good "sky color", blending with the sky and remaining less visible to the trout. I fish slow, clear water for trophy trout with classic bamboo rods and I chose the half size heavy 5 to suit a Leonard 50 DF-6 I just acquired. Smoothness and suppleness are good with this line and, though I am certain you did not design it for bamboo, it performs very well.
Cortland was the first company to offer half size lines (3.5, 4, 4.5, 5, etc, and I thought that a great idea. Casting styles vary and I like being able to tailor a line to get the best out of a particular bamboo rod.
I started fishing the Finesse Trout ll on my 6 wt Winston Air 2 last summer. I find it casts really well whether I’m throwing a size 6 chubby Chernobyl or a size 18 Caddis or PMD dry. I can get good distance when necessary and good control at all distances. Matches really well with this rod.
Throws with ease and it really reaches out when I need it to but the best thing about this line is how accurate it is, it really is awesome and for me the best line I've ever used. Well worth the money spent.
This line offers great control and really shoots out the guides. Love all their products and this line does nothing but reinforce that belief. Great job as always
