This fly line works well for midge fishing in quiet lakes. The floating running line helps keep the flies low and natural. I’ve used it with long leaders and multiple flies without losing control. The clear tip makes it easy to see the line in the water.

Good performance in stillwater conditions. The 5-foot intermediate tip gives me enough control when casting. I noticed a slight drag when using long leaders, but overall it’s reliable for midge patterns.

I’ve been using this line for several weeks now and it’s proven effective in calm waters. The stealth feature helps me get flies close to the surface without spooking fish. The MPX taper design feels familiar and responsive.
