How long does fly line last?

Sun, Grim, Storage and Use all degrade a fly line. This isn’t exact, but if the line isn’t abused and reasonably maintained, it should last 250 “use days”. For a full time fly fishing guide, this might be a season or two. For the occasional fly fishers, this might be ten years.

Can you bass fish with a 5-weight fly rod?

You can use a 5-weight trout rod for bass fishing, but it’s not the best tool. Because bass flies tend to be large and wind-resistant, heavier 6- and 7-weight rods with a medium action are best for bass. The rod should load deeply into the mid and butt section to launch bushy bass poppers in and around thick cover.

Are expensive fly lines worth it?

The cheap lines do what they’re supposed to do on pretty much every single stream. But the expensive lines are def smoother and cast further. And on a big stream another 10-15 feet is well worth it. But for the cheaper lines, different brands seem to be better.

How do I choose a floating fly line?

Decide if you want a floating, sink-tip or full sinking line. Decide what type of taper you want the fly line to be. For most fly fishing, the weight-forward (WF) taper is the fly line of choice. And for trout fishing, WF taper should be the first fly line any angler buys.
