Written on the rod blank or handle is a code number which indicates the line that the rod manufacturer
suggests is best for most customers; i.e., 6 line. To most fly anglers, this means that they should use
nothing but a 6 weight line with this rod. But to get the full potential from different fishing situations, you
may want to consider using several line sizes on your rod — perhaps varying as much as two line
sizes from the one suggested on the rod.
Manufacturers know your rod may be used in a host of fishing situations, but they can’t judge your
casting style and fishing skills. So when they place a recommended line number on your rod, it is
implied that it’s for average fishing conditions. First, understand that you’re not going to damage a fly
rod using fly line a little lighter or heavier than is recommended. Certainly, at times, the rod will fish
better if different line sizes are used.
Match line weight to conditions
Let me cite several examples of when you might want to use various line weights on the same rod for
different fishing conditions you may encounter.
First, if you fish a swift, tumbling mountain brook, you can use a rather short leader with a dry fly. A
leader of 7-1/2 feet in length would probably do the best job. But if you fish for trout with the same outfit
and dry fly on a calm spring creek, beaver pond or quiet lake, that short leader could prevent
