Equipment Maintenance: Fly Lines

With expert fly lines costing over $50 you should take extra care to make sure it lasts as long as possible.

A dirty fly line will sink like a stone and cast poorly. Use a mild soap and a damp towel to clean your fly line. Be sure to thoroughly rinse your fly line to remove the soap. Applying a line dressing will also help the performance of the line.

Even with the advanced coatings that increase casting distance and make the line float better, no line is indestructible. Take the extra time to carefully untangle your line from thistles or sticks. Even a small tear in the fly line may cause the line to sink.
