Wetswinger - I picked up two details: Washing Line - where have I been? Huh! And a refresher on the hang. Thanks. Very informative/

I went to the flyshop this afternoon thinking I'd add the line Mr. Gawesworth talks about for "murk" water, the line doesn't appear to be available anymore.

I have one. I think it is probably the worst line I have ever bought. Tangle’s terribly. If you want to be as frustrated by a fly line as possible, send me your address and it’s yours!

I got my Cortland Clear Camo WF6I yesterday, cut off the EEEEvil loop and knotted on about 9' of 12# Maxima Ultragreen, added a bit of 2X to that and fished it today. It does come off the spool with some memory but a good stretch and it's not nearly as kinky as (not as kinky as?) other kinky lines I've had and it casts really well.

Thanks again for posting this. Watching this, then going out and doing it, has been helpful. Watching it again I picked up more. I retrieved slow, and got a lot of takes when I would pause. I like how the intermediate line really just hangs there. Mine's just a Clearwater, but it sinks slow and even, and is laying out straight now with no more coiling than my other lines.

You should like it, Once it gets some water on it.

I'm going to use a gurgler tomorrow as the point fly and drop a weighted chironomid about a foot below the tippet ring. Hope a few chunky trout put a good stretch into the new intermediate line.

Good luck, hope it works out for you. I'm feeling more confident, I only took the intermediate line rod today and it was fine.

I like this video. I've been wanting to learn this technique to hunt the fish feeding in this soup. So far I think it's worth continuing to pursue.

Did you get a chance to try out the washer line? Any success.?
