Fly Lines Built for Every Water

  • 5wt Fly Line - Weight Forward HoverSits just below the surface, keeping nymphs and wet flies in the feeding zone 30% longer in streams and rivers. Perfect for trout in calm to moderate currents when you need more hookups without spooking fish.
  • 7wt Fly Line - Weight Forward Intermediate SinkingControlled sink rate gets streamers down to feeding zones where bass, steelhead, and larger trout hold in deeper pools. Reaches depths of 2 to 6 feet and stays there through your entire retrieve.
  • 6/7F Switch Line - FloatingTwo-color orange and white design helps you track line position during 60+ foot casts with switch rods. Built for steelhead and salmon on larger rivers like the Columbia and Deschutes where visibility matters.
  • 8wt Fly Line - Weight Forward HoverOne line handles multiple species, from pike and carp in freshwater to inshore redfish and bonefish in saltwater. Sits just below the surface to avoid wind drag while keeping your flies in the strike zone.

The Right Line Without the Guesswork

Our curated fly line collection includes weight-forward, hover, and intermediate sinking lines tested for precise presentations and durability on rivers, streams, lakes, and coastal waters. We've tested every line ourselves on real water, and they've held up through thousands of casts in all conditions.

Picture this: you're teaching your kid their first cast on a calm morning. The hover line keeps your nymph right in the strike zone without creating wake on the surface. No spooking fish. Just a tight line and your kid's first trout on the fly. That's what the right line does.

Our weight-forward lines in 5wt through 8wt load fly rods quickly and put flies on target at distances from 20 to 60 feet. You'll throw longer with less effort, which means less frustration when teaching kids or fishing all day. Hover lines sit just below the surface, keeping nymphs and wet flies where trout and bass spend 80% of their feeding time. Intermediate sinking lines descend at a controlled rate of 1 to 2 inches per second, getting streamers and weighted nymphs down to depths of 2 to 6 feet where larger fish hold.

Switch lines with grain weights of 200, 250, 300, and 350 match common switch rod ratings for steelhead, salmon, and two-handed techniques. The bright orange and white color scheme makes it easy to track your line during mending and drift, so you'll spot strikes faster and hook more fish.

Everything's here in one place. No driving to three different shops or spending 2 to 3 hours comparing products online. Not sure which line weight or taper style you need? We've helped over 10,000 anglers get the right setup for their home waters, and we're here to help you too.

Color options include gray, dark olive, and high-visibility orange/white combinations that work in different light conditions and water types. Choose gray or olive for clear water and spooky trout. Choose orange/white when you need to see your line in low light or when fishing fast current.

Fly Fishing Lines FAQs

Are Wild Water fly lines as good as Rio or Scientific Anglers lines?

Yes. Wild Water fly lines deliver the same performance as Rio and Scientific Anglers at lower prices. Our lines use quality coating materials that resist cracking and memory. They load rods smoothly and cast precisely. The main difference is cost. Anglers across the USA use our lines for trout, bass, steelhead, salmon, and saltwater species.

How do I know which fly line weight to buy?

Match your line weight to your rod weight. Check your rod just above the handle for the weight marking. Choose 4wt or 5wt for trout on small streams. Choose 6wt or 7wt for bass and larger trout. Choose 8wt or 9wt for steelhead and saltwater species. Call 585-967-3474 if you need help selecting the right line.

What's the difference between floating and sinking fly lines?

Floating lines stay on the surface for dry flies and topwater presentations. Intermediate sinking lines descend to depths of 2 to 6 feet for streamers and weighted nymphs. Hover lines sit just below the surface for wet flies and emergers. Use floating lines for most trout fishing. Use sinking or hover lines when fish feed deeper.

Can I use Wild Water fly lines with my existing rod and reel?

Yes. Wild Water fly lines work with all fly rod brands including Orvis, Redington, Echo, TFO, and Sage. Match the line weight to your rod weight for correct loading. Our lines pair with any fly reel that has standard arbor sizes, from die-cast entry-level reels to high-end CNC machined models.
