Fly Line Makes the Cast

One of the most crucial components of your fly fishing gear is the fly line. In fly fishing, it is the weight of the line, not the weight of the lure, that allows you to cast, so the type of fly line you choose determines your casting success. Although many rod manufacturers recommend a line weight, this recommendation is based on averages and may not be right for all conditions. In this video, an expert from Red’s Fly Shop offers one solution to fly line confusion: the Rio Coldwater Series Outbound Intermediate line. This line is ideal for beach or lake fishing in cold waters but is versatile enough to be used for catching a wide range of fish, from rainbow trout to smallmouth bass.
