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.

My go to fly line for trout as well as bream. I cast it well and love the color, of course I still believe color does matter. Some might say it’s all in my head…. but it’s just the way I customize my personal fly fishing experience.
I really appreciate the Modern Trout. It works well on many of the rods that I regualrly use. I appreciate the fact that it can toss delicate dry flies, throw streamers, and roll-cast with ease and distance. It allows me to use one line throughout a day that can range from fishing weighted streamers, delicate dry flies, and smaller soft-hackles.
Modern Trout is my favorite line. Not only is it slick and very durable but the color is very stealthy. It is my go to.
I purchased modern trout 2015 it is a all around very good line for any situation also I purchased the Rio lt also a very good so now I'm back for the modern trout because Rio out of the blue quit making the the the Rio lt , no reason they just quit making it so I'm back.
Have this in a few different WTs. Works great for anything.
I replaced my SA MPX line with the cortland 444 modern trout for my 3WT med-fast action rod. This line was a world of difference, and did not feel clunky when casting.
I would only ask for a welded loop for the backing end.
Love it… balanced & dependable
