Title: Best line for chir. and nymphing?
Post by: Chehalis_Steel on May 11, 2015, 01:55:39 PM

So I need a new line for indicator fishing on lakes and stream nymphing.

I've been looking at the Cortland Indicator Nymph and the Rio Indicator II but I can't decide which is better. Anyone tried these lines? Which did you prefer, esp. for long leaders when fishing chironomids?

I own the Rio Indicator II line and its awesome for bobber fishing. Plus if you want to fish naked it has the front couple feet of flourescent orange as a built in indicator. Been using it since it came out and it rocks compared to a regular weight forward dry line for bobber usage. Well worth the $$

the rio indicator ii is a fantastic line nothing but good things to say about it i on the other hand would not use it for river fishing i like the playing old rio gold for nymphing rivers
