Intermediate Fly Lines

Intermediate fly lines offer the perfect middle ground between floating and sinking lines. Their slow sink rate makes them ideal for fishing just below the surface or in mid-water columns where a natural presentation is crucial. These lines are especially effective for cautious fish.

Features and usage:

  • Slow sink rate – typically 0.5–1.5 cm/s
  • Great for shallower stillwaters and slow-moving rivers
  • Keeps your fly in the strike zone longer
  • Suitable for streamers, nymphs, and wet flies

Fly Line Profiles:

  • DT – Double Taper

    As the name suggests, the line tapers evenly from both ends with the weight concentrated in the middle. This type is ideal for shorter casts and delicate presentations of artificial flies. Both ends of the fly line can be used.

  • WF – Weight Forward

    The weight is concentrated toward the front of the line, giving it a club-like shape that focuses kinetic energy to carry the rest of the line forward. The front part of the line is used for casting, while the rear section remains toward the reel.

Fly Line Sink Rates:

  • F – Floating: Fly lines that float on the surface.
  • S – Sinking: Lines that sink beneath the surface.
  • I – Intermediate: Lines with neutral buoyancy, slowly sinking.
  • F/S – Floating/Sinking: Floating lines with a sinking tip.
