New on MidCurrent : How to Choose a Fly Line

January 27, 2009 By: Marshall Cutchin

You might have thought that choosing a fly line is about as simple as changing a light bulb — you check the rating, look on the package, and screw it in. But imagine if light bulbs came in 2,000 different shapes, and if they gave off different light for different users depending on their reading abilities. That’s pretty much the challenge that choosing a fly line presents.
In MidCurrent’s brand new Quick Guide, internationally recognized fly line expert and fly casting instructor Bruce Richards offers his list of the top four considerations in fly line choice. It’s a good bet that whether you’re an expert caster or brand new to the sport that “Choosing a Fly Line” will make you more confident of your next purchase.
