How to pick the right fly fishing line
1. How to pick the right fly fishing line
Picking the right fly fishing line is a skill in itself, just as picking the right fly fishing rod, picking the right
fly fishing reel and picking the right fly for fly fishing all are. All these topics have been covered on this
blog in the last few days.
Fly fishing line seems to remember its shape. People that have experience with fly fishing usually refer
to this as “memory”. If your fly fishing rod has been in storage for a while; expect that you will have to
break the line in a little before using it. The temperature the fly fishing line was stored in can also have a
big effect on it. If it was stored in a garage in Alaska it will not unfold as good as if it was stored in a
garage in Florida.
Soft fly fishing line
Fly fishing line manufacturers make different lines that are built specifically for cold or warm weather.
Soft fly fishing line will reduce memory but it will not eliminate it. Softer line will not work well if used in
Florida. Harder line will not work well if used in Alaska. The only thing is: while trying to pick the right fly
fishing line, the package will not say what type of weather it is fit for.
How to get rid of memory in fly fishing line
You will want your fly fishing line straightened out after not being used for a long time. This is very easy
and safe to do with your hands. Start by pulling out a few feet or so. Next, you’re going to grab both
sides with your hands and manually stretch it out. Take out a few more feet and repeat. Simple.
