Scientific Anglers Sonar Stillwater Emerger Tip Fly Line
The Scientific Anglers Sonar Stillwater Emerger Tip is designed for fishing nymphs and wet flies just beneath the surface, particularly when wind makes controlling a conventional floating line difficult. A short Sink 2 tip anchors the front of the line below the surface while the head and running line remain floating for easy handling and line control.

This line works great in choppy conditions. The sink tip keeps the front below water while the head stays afloat, which makes casting much easier. I’ve used it with wet flies and nymphs and it holds up well under wind.

The extra head weight helps with turning over heavier rigs. I noticed better control when using it in a windy pond. The 45-foot head length gives me room to work with longer leaders.

I’ve been using this line for several weeks now and it’s proven reliable. The floating head makes it easy to manage, and the sink tip stays put without dragging.
