Scientific Anglers Amplitude Smooth Creek Trout Fly Line
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.
The Creek Trout Taper is designed for casting in small creeks where your average weight forward lines doesn’t make the cut. The rear loaded short-bellied fly line with an extended handling section. That means more mass is distributed to the front of the line, which assists in turning over weighted flies and performing roll casts.
- Features the revolutionary AST Plus slickness additive for superior shooting ability and increased durability
- Short-head design with handling line delivers enhanced control and performance in tight spaces

Is the AST Plus additive beneficial for casting in windy conditions?
The AST Plus slickness additive enhances shooting ability and reduces friction, which can improve casting accuracy and consistency, especially in challenging conditions.
Can this line be used for both dry fly and nymph fishing?
Yes, the Creek Trout Taper is designed to handle weighted flies effectively, making it suitable for both dry fly and nymph presentations in small water environments.

This line performs exceptionally well in small creeks. The short-head design and front mass help with roll casts and weighted flies. I’ve noticed much less drag and the line holds up well after several trips to the water.

The AST Plus additive makes a noticeable difference in how smoothly it casts. I can now cast with confidence in tight spaces where other lines would struggle. Durability has been excellent so far.
Alexander Walker –
Great for small water fishing. The handling section gives better control during roll casts. A bit stiffer than expected, but that’s fine for the application. Satisfied with the performance.
Alison Thomson –
After switching from a traditional line, I can see a clear improvement in casting distance and accuracy. The reduced drag is noticeable, especially when using heavier flies.
Dan Powell –
Works well in tight creeks. The front mass helps with turning over weighted flies. A bit more expensive, but the performance justifies the cost for frequent small stream fishing.
