FAQ

Our Streamer fly line is built for cold water environments and will perform best in temperatures between 30 and 70 degrees (F).

The taper design for our Streamer fly line was built with an aggressive head design with a short 16' body that loads quickly and shoots large fly’s with minimal false casts.

The olive and green color combination distinguishes taper change and proper loading point. These colors are stealthy yet traceable in freshwater environments.

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.

Sweet fly line

This line is sweet casting. I spoiled it on my two handed 7 weight and I can send larger streamers a good distance without having to wade closer.

Love this line

I got the 6wt for trout. It puts some pretty big flys out there. I fish mostly small streams, and this line is perfect for me. Got this smallmouth first time out with it on a crayfish pattern

Casts pretty good.

Casts okay. Might be better once I get use to it. Just seemed like old memory coil line especially the running line part. Maybe I might have to find some line conditioner to get the kinks out of it. Other than that it should be okay. I'm casting from shore for stocker rainbow sometimes a guy needs that little extra distance on the pond while there is limited back cast room.
