I’ve used this line for both dry fly and nymph fishing on a local river. The turnover is smooth and the back taper makes mending much easier. It performs well in tight spots where other lines feel bulky.

Great for switching between fly types without changing lines. The moss green color blends well with the water and I haven’t had any issues with snagging.

Felt more responsive than my previous floating line. The control during pickup and mending is noticeably better, especially on winding streams.
