I’ve used this line on the Goulburn and in small streams. It works well with dry-droppers and light nymphing. The 39-foot head gives good float and easy loading. No tangles, and it stays on the water smoothly.
Sam Ross –
Great all-rounder for my daily fishing. Switched from a heavier taper and found this one easier to manage. Works well in pocket water and on lake edges. A bit heavy for very light dry flies, but overall solid.

Used it on a recent trip to a slow-moving stream. The dry-dropper setup worked perfectly. The line doesn’t drag and floats steadily. I appreciate the balanced head and smooth turnover.
