A Steady Sink. A Faster Shot.
A thin diameter intermediate line with a compact 32 ft head and supple braided core for lakes, rivers, and stillwater.
Cortland’s Intermediate is a thin diameter fly line designed for subsurface fishing in freshwater and saltwater. Its full intermediate profile sinks at 1.5 to 2 inches per second for controlled presentations through the water column. A compact 32 ft head loads quickly and supports efficient shooting, while the supple braided nylon multifilament core remains manageable and memory free in cooler conditions. The ice blue finish provides a clear visual distinction from the transparent intermediate lines in the 444 Series.
| Water Type | Sink Rate | Head Length | Core Material |
|---|---|---|---|
| freshwater and saltwater | 1.5 to 2 inches per second | 32 ft | braided nylon multifilament |

I’ve used this line for several weeks on a local lake. It sinks steadily and doesn’t tangle easily. The 32-foot head loads quickly, which helps with casting in tight spots. The ice blue color stands out well when fishing in clear water.
Cameron Campbell –
Good performance in both freshwater and saltwater. The sink rate is consistent and the line feels smooth in hand. A bit more sensitive than my previous model, but that’s a plus for precise presentations.
Trevor Langdon –
Felt like a natural fit for my stillwater routine. The braided core doesn’t retain memory, which is great during cold mornings. I appreciate the clear color for visibility when checking the line.
