I just bought a bamboo fly rod. I don’t want to put silk line on it for several reasons.I found a modern fly line with the same quality’s as silk with out the hassle,but it’s not for sale anywhere. I even looked at the Cortland company store, no dice. can someone tell me where to look for it because I’m at a loss.

I bought this new fly line a few days ago to replace some cheeper line I got with the pole. The new line is White River Fly Shop™ CV2® Fly Line from Bass Pro http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_10151_-1_10001_25195_175003001_175000000_175003000_175-3-1. It’s 2x as light as my other line and half the diamiter and its tappered. I made sure its the same weight as my other line and my pole wich is 5wt. I’m having a much harder time casting the new line compared to the old line. I am thinking I need to break it in. What do you think the problem is?

Chadd: I’ve just bought a nice 4/5# weight fly rod and reel combo, but fly line wasn’t included in the deal. My old rod is a 3# weight and I have several lines at that particular weight which were pretty pricey, so I don’t want to waste money buying 4/5# line if I can use my 3# weight line, and from what you say I should be okay, thanks!

is thier a certain way to put string on a fly fishing reel

I am a beginner at fly fishing and need a good fly line that can be used for bass and bluegill and handle flies that are small enough for bluegills mouths but large enough for bass to take it. I will be using a 5 wt. fly rod and a X4 leader. Also I need a floating line. Any recommendations and advice would be appreciated, thanks.
