I got over to the lake with the fly rod I had fun with some small gills,white perch and attempted  for a rubber nose trout which was in vein ,all in all it was fun  the Oswego river  went back up today

Fun stuff Trapper. My summer haunts have been nothing but mud holes for the last month and a half. Haven't wet a line in weeks. Just when it starts to settle down we get blasted with another round of heavy rains. I measured. 3 1/4" in the rain gauge in the last 5 days.

Good thing I have the wood shop and gardens to keep me occupied. Hopefully things will settle down for the fall.

Question...what is everyone using for fly line these days?  Ive been out of the game for so long I was baffled by the number of options.  If anyone has recommendations for a favored floating flyline Id like to hear them.

[trapper2000]

depends  on  what  where distance and  budget ....i  use alot airflo  but  othe  guys  use  scientfic anglers  or  rio and  save  50 bucks

Cortland 444 on my reels. Never found a good reason to change.

I think they are  all  good  I like  the  airflow  because  it  picks  up easy  but  a  rio  line  will land  just as  many fish  or a  good old  444

[oatkasut]

i use to use the Cortland 444 but it would wear out after 400 hours of fishing(one season). Then went to the Rio and it has lasted 3 seasons with equal  castingperformance. Both WF 4X floating line and I use it for everything.50 trips lthis season and 260 trout.
