WF 4-5-6 wt Floating fly line choices? Whats best and whats just overpriced?

[Scruffy_Fly]

Fly line weights are established based on the weight of the first 30 ft of line. For small stream fishing 30 ft is a lot of line. For small streams, I like to go up a line weight or two so that the rod will load better, thus cast better, with less line out.

Best thing to do is go to your local shop and try different weight lines on your rod for casting short distances.

Then try the same weights at a longer distance such as 40 ft.

Failing the ability to do that stick to the weight the rod is designed for. If you are not sure that you will be fishing small streams mostly then stick to the weight the rod is designed for.

Cortlands 333 is an old line that was an excellent line for many years and you would not be a bad line to have. There are other lines out there that are even better these days. You should be able to get one of these better lines for about $50. Which one of those better lines? I have no idea. My experience with latest lines is none existant.

Since you live in Florida, as I remember, and you want this for small mountain stream and lake fishing, as I remember, then you will not be using it continuously. Thus i think any line will work just fine.

BTW, what did you get for a rod?
