Scientific Anglers Amplitude Smooth Anadro Fly Line
FOR NYMPHING BIG RIVERS AND STILLWATERS
The Amplitude Smooth series of lines are, simply put, the highest-performance smooth fly lines in the world. With up to five times less drag and eight times the durability of traditional lines, this will change the way you look at fly line performance.
If you’re anything like us, the allure of big fish and big rivers is intoxicating. That’s precisely why we created the Amplitude Smooth Anadro/Nymph. Designed with line control in mind, its extended rear taper allows you to cast a mile, mend with authority, and turn over nearly any rig imaginable—from dredging double nymphs to larger dry-dropper concoctions. Steelhead, salmon, and trout won’t know what hit them.

I’ve used this line on several long stretches of river and it casts smoothly with minimal drag. The mending is precise and I can handle heavy nymph rigs without losing control. Great for steelhead and trout in cold water.
Penelope Gill –
After switching from a standard fly line, I noticed a huge difference in casting distance and accuracy. The line feels slick and responds well to mends, especially when working with double nymphs.
Charles McGrath –
It performs well in stillwater conditions and handles long casts without tangles. A bit more expensive, but the durability and smoothness justify the cost for serious anglers.

The extended rear taper makes it easy to turn over rigs in tight spaces. I’ve used it on salmon runs and it holds up well under heavy use.
