Prelong the life of a fly line

[SilverDoctor]

 

It is also a great time of year to do equipment care. Check your lines for cracks and other damage.  I like to wash my fly lines  in a sink full of warm water and mild dish detergent. Strip the line into the water and wipe the lines with a soft terry wash cloth. Surprising how much dirt you pick up off the surface especially in city rivers and a lot of lakes. I sometime do a quick clean like this a couple times a year depending where I fish.

A quick coat of quality line dressing will make those fly line tips that start sinking pop up and float like new. My favorite line dressing is Otter Butter that I will even use often. This kind of care will extend the life of your line, also check you manufacturer for tips for your particular line.
