Disappear Beneath the Surface
A clear camo intermediate line with a controlled 1.5 to 2 inches per second sink rate for stealthy subsurface fishing in fresh and saltwater.
Cortland’s Clear Camo Intermediate is a full intermediate fly line designed for stealthy subsurface fishing in freshwater and saltwater. Its clear camo finish blends into a variety of water conditions, while the 1.5 to 2 inches per second sink rate keeps streamers, nymphs, and baitfish patterns moving through the feeding zone. A short front taper and body load quickly, while the extended back taper supports line carry and shooting distance. The supple finish remains manageable in cold conditions.
| Water Type | Performance |
|---|---|
| Freshwater | Stealthy subsurface fishing with consistent sink rate |
| Saltwater | Effective for streamers, nymphs, and baitfish patterns |

This line performs well in both freshwater and saltwater. The camo finish helps it stay hidden, and the sink rate is just right for nymphing. I’ve used it in early spring and it holds up well in cold water.

Great for stealth fishing. The sink rate is consistent and the line doesn’t tangle easily. I noticed a slight difference in feel compared to standard lines, but it’s a small trade-off for better invisibility.

Used it during a saltwater trip and found it effective for targeting baitfish. The extended back taper helped with casting distance, and the clear camo blend made a noticeable difference in fish detection.
