HOW TO FLY FISH: FLY LINE ESSENTIALS WITH MAC BROWN

HOW TO FLY FISH: FLY LINE ESSENTIALS WITH MAC BROWN

While anglers will often spend hours working on their casting and discussing rods, they rarely make a similar effort to understand how their fly line selection impacts their casting and fishing.  To complicate things, in recent years, fly line manufacturers like Scientific Anglers, RIO, Cortland and Airflo have been able to cost-effectively manufacture lines for almost every use case.

In response, The Articulate Fly and Mac Brown produced a seven part series, Fly Line Essentials, to give anglers a better understanding of fly line mechanics, construction and care.  Armed with this knowledge, anglers can select the right fly line for the job, improve their casting and have more productive days on the water.  Give it a listen!  Thanks to Scientific Anglers for sponsoring the series!

FLY LINE ESSENTIALS:

Part I:  How A Fly Line Works

Part II:  Fly Line Cores and Coatings

Part III:  Fly Line Tapers and Picking the Right Fly Line for the Job

Part IV:  Sinking Lines and Sink Tips

Part V:  Shooting Lines

Part VI:  Line Care and Maintenance

Part VII: Listener Questions
