Fishing The Fly Scotland Forum

Mike Barrio

Hi folks :cool:

I've been working on a new light fly line design throughout 2013 which many of you have tried, this has now passed the final stages of development and I have asked for the retail stock to be manufactured. This line is suitable for short to mid range work at the lighter end of the rod scale, so think # 1 to 5.

The lines have been tried on a good selection of carbon rods with a good variety of actions, on fibreglass and cane and they perform just as I was hoping they would. Fishing presentation and line control is great and they can deal with a bit of wind as well .... I hope you'll like them too!

Looking forward to launching them in the near future .....................

Best wishes
Mike

Light tan Euan, like the running line on the orange headed SLX :z16

I think this should prove a popular line for tubing too :wink

Launching them.... but not in the sense of hurtling them towards the horizon! If this is the line I tried at the fly casting day, then it'll be very popular for river and tube. nice job!
