Royal Wulff Ambush Triangle Taper Hover “Neutralizer” Fly Line
The Ambush Triangle Taper Hover (Neutralizer) is a “hovering” floating/intermediate line built for fishing just under the film when trout and salmon get selective. The head is a slow-sinking intermediate that helps present emergers, wets, soft-hackles, and nymphs in that top subsurface lane—without dropping too deep.
This is a 90 ft line with a taper length of 18–35 ft (by grain weight) and a high-visibility Aqua / Lime Green color scheme for tracking and line control. The “Hover” density is rated 1 inch per second on the head (Hover 1 IPS / Floating). Choose the grain weight that matches your rod and casting style.

FAQ
What makes the Hover head different from a standard floating line?
The Hover head sinks slowly at a rate of 1 inch per second, allowing it to stay just below the surface film where trout and salmon are selective. This helps present nymphs, wets, and emergers without dropping too deep or floating too high.
Is this line suitable for fishing in clear water?
Yes, the Aqua / Lime Green color provides excellent visibility in clear water, helping with tracking and line control during casting.
How should I choose the grain weight for this line?
Select the grain weight that matches your rod and casting style. The taper length varies by grain weight, so compatibility with your gear is key for optimal performance.

This line performs exactly as described. The hover head keeps my nymphs just below the surface, which is perfect for trout in clear water. The lime green color helps me see the line during casting, and it’s easy to cast with a 9-foot rod. I’ve used it in both still and moving water and it holds up well.

Great for targeting fish just under the film. The slow sink rate is reliable and the line doesn’t tangle easily. I noticed a slight drag when using heavier weights, but overall it’s a solid choice for intermediate presentations.

I’ve switched from a standard floating line to the Hover Neutralizer and it’s made a big difference in my success rate. The fish are more likely to take the flies when they’re presented at the right depth. Very satisfied with the performance and visibility.
