I am thinking of buying a new fly line for beach fishing for sea run cutthroats. I can't decide between a full intermediate line (1.5~2ips) and intermediate sink tip line of same sink rate. They both would have outbound short head with 15 feet clear tip portion. Any suggestions?

Floating line is the best choice.

Floating line and level fluro leader or add a poly leader if you want to get down.

I've got the outbound short floating, brilliant line. I just have an assortment of polyleaders for it. @ 12 bucks a piece it doesn't break the bank and theycan get you where you need to go. just have to add a bit extra butt section and tippet from there and your laughin

Thanks for the comments. Looks like outbound short floating is the ticket.

As others have said, a floating line is the best choice. Trout can feed so close to the shore that you need a floating fly just to stay off the gravel. You can use a long, fluorocarbon leader if you need to fish just under the surface, or add a short, loop-on sinking head in front of the leader. Just choose a floating line that suits your rod. I prefer a a line weight of 6 or heavier because of wind. Pushing a light line into the onshore wind is an exercise of futility.
