Cortland Trout Headwater Floating Fly Line
The Headwater was designed for accurate, subtle presentations on small streams and spring creeks. Built true to line weight, a short body and front taper design helps load rods up close. This line features a supple braid core that remains memory free when stored on small arbor reels. A mute olive colored head eliminates line flash and allows for a stealthy approach in gin clear water.

I’ve used this line on a few small streams and it performs exceptionally well. The subtle presentation helps me catch trout without spooking them. The mute olive head is a big plus in clear water. Easy to handle and stays true to the rod’s action.

Great for small water fishing. The front taper helps with close-range casting and the floating nature works well in calm streams. A bit more expensive than other lines, but the performance justifies it.
Anne Davies –
The line feels smooth and doesn’t retain memory, which is perfect for small arbor reels. I noticed no line flash in clear water, and the casting accuracy improved noticeably.
