FAQs

What is the difference between Hover 1.0ips and Clear 1.5ips?

Hover 1.0ips sinks at a rate of approximately 1.0 inches per second, while Clear 1.5ips sinks at a rate of approximately 1.5 inches per second. Choose the sink rate based on the depth you want to fish.

Can I use this fly line for saltwater fishing?

This fly line is specifically designed for lake fishing. While it can be used in saltwater, it may not perform as effectively as lines specifically designed for saltwater environments. Always rinse the line after saltwater use.

How do I clean the fly line?

Use a fly line cleaner and a soft cloth. Follow the cleaner's instructions, usually involving applying the cleaner to the line and wiping it down.

What sizes are available?

The RIO Premier Midge Tip Fly Line is available in WF5, WF6, WF7, and WF8 sizes.

How often should I replace my fly line?

The lifespan of a fly line depends on usage and care. Inspect the line regularly for cracks, abrasions, or loss of slickness. Replace the line when its performance degrades.

What type of leader should I use with this line?

Use a tapered leader appropriate for the fly size and conditions. The leader should match the fly line weight.

How do I store the fly line?

Store the fly line in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, preferably coiled loosely or on a reel.

Troubleshooting

Line tangles or knots during casting.

Check for any kinks or twists in the line. Ensure your leader and tippet are correctly attached and not too heavy for the fly line weight.

Line sinks too quickly or slowly.

Verify that you are using the correct sink rate (Hover 1.0ips or Clear 1.5ips) for the fishing conditions.

Difficulty in achieving casting distance.

Ensure your casting technique is correct. Check the line for any damage or wear. Ensure your rod and reel are correctly matched to the fly line weight.
