Royal Wulff Ambush Clear Intermediate Fly Line
The Royal Wulff Ambush Intermediate adds stealth to the Ambush system with a clear, 18 – 25′ intermediate sinking head—perfect when fish are spooky, water is clear, or you want your fly to track just under the film. You still get the Ambush advantages for roll casting and compact D-loops, plus an intermediate sink rate of about 1.25–1.75 ips to keep flies in the zone without going too deep. Finished as a 90′ integrated line with a highly visible running line for line control and shooting performance.
- Clear 18 – 25′ Intermediate Head = Stealth – Subsurface head helps reduce line flash in clear, pressured water

FAQ
What makes the intermediate head different from the standard Ambush head?
The intermediate head is clear and designed to sink at a controlled rate of 1.25–1.75 ips, reducing line flash in clear water and allowing the fly to track just below the surface.
Is this line suitable for use in pressured or clear water conditions?
Yes, the clear intermediate head reduces visibility in pressured or clear water, helping to avoid spooking fish while maintaining effective depth control.
How does the sink rate affect fly presentation?
The 1.25–1.75 ips sink rate keeps the fly in the target zone without going too deep, ideal for fish that are cautious or active just below the surface.

Used this line in a clear lake with low visibility. The clear intermediate head really helped hide the line. My flies stayed just below the surface and fish were more willing to take them. Great for roll casting and tight D-loops.

Felt a noticeable difference in stealth compared to the standard head. The sink rate is steady and consistent. Works well in pressured water where flash was a problem before.

Perfect for early morning fishing when the water is clear. The line tracks smoothly and keeps the fly in the right depth. Easy to cast and control with the integrated running line.
