cpraud Posted June 6, 2013 Posted June 6, 2013 I am just finishing up building a little 6'6" 2 wt rod and I'm looking for any suggestions on a floating fly line to put on it. I'm not looking to break the bank, I just looking for something half decent that will work for fishing small streams for Brookies and Cutties when I get the chance. If you have any suggestions I'd love to hear them. Thanks, Cody Quote
mnm Posted June 7, 2013 Posted June 7, 2013 Get yourself a Double Taper Line It will help with your accuracy and presentation.. Quote
Hawgstoppah Posted June 7, 2013 Posted June 7, 2013 SA Mastery WF, the you can fish it a bit better on breezy days. DT is also good, I just didn't notice this accuracy improvement everyone claims... I guess maybe inside out of the weather sure, but out in southern alberta on stream I'd rather be equipped with a line I feel will cut the breeze just a little, especially on a 2wt. Quote
cpraud Posted June 7, 2013 Author Posted June 7, 2013 Thanks for the suggestions, researching them on good old Google has helped me procrastinate from doing actual work. Its actually surprising how many lines start at 3 and 4wt and go up, not too many seem to start with a 2 wt option. A buddy also suggested a Snowbee Delicate Presentation line, has anyone heard much about these? I can find a bit about them online but there I quite a bit more info on the Rio and Sa lines that you suggested already. That's a good point on the wind in the south, I usually use a 4w but I figured I had the time and the tools to build something that should be a lot of fun to play around with. Quote
