I have been fly fishing in the sea for nearly 40 years and haven’t thought too much about colour. My friend who has been fishing for even longer than me uses a clear floating line and I use a hi-viz orange line! I would say that there is very little difference in our catch rates over the years. All our lines are shooting heads so your video has made me think about experimenting with different colours. Personally I think it is important to see my line so I can make adjustments in my casting. Thanks for sharing. Very interesting.
I'm trying to decide between Lime green or fluorescent orange Any tips And I have a Ross animus Nickel finish And I also want it to look nice And stylish
I have been fly fishing for a long time, and I agree with you 100% even for experienced casters. Though timing the load is not really the issue for such experienced fishers, as you suggest, I think seeing the line both as it unfolds in the air and as it lands and on the water is critical for floating flies. Any colour of line will spook trout if it lands right beside or on top of them. "Don't cast on the fish targeted, but allow yourself to easily see your line just behind your leader" -- good advice for any level of dry fly fisherman. I do wish all my dry fly lines were hi-vis...
All people who start fly fishing will always look behind to check how much line they can cast and also to see how it behaves. I am fly fishing a couple of years now, and I still look behind occasionally to watch my fly line - I get great joy from it. Visual colour is the way to go. Tight lines all you fishermen.
I have a couple different spools. One blue as the sky…. One hi visibility for evening and dark night fishing… and one olive green for when all else fails. I use a 5wt and a 6wt rods, change the spools on the reels and usually end up w/ a 6wt line on my 5wt rod. Sometimes 6wt rod and 6wt line for longer casting on lakes…Loads of fun! Thx
I run close to an olive green and I use that for trout salmon and I usually don’t have a problem with it because the fish don’t see color until it gets up close to them but I never throw my fire line close enough to hit the fish therefore having a longer leader is better sometimes but that’s the color that works for me
It doesnt matter. I fly fish for 13 years and color of fly line should help you. So you know where is your fly line and Tippet after casting. Clear line makes sense only when you fish lakes and standing water. Thats Why intermediates are clear. Other than that color of your fly line doesnt matter at all. It is mostly marketing to sell you "stealth natural lines" in believe to catch more fish. Enjoy fishing.

I only ever use white floating lines and clear intermediate tips of different lengths and sinking depts .
I use bright green, I think it looks cool. I think that if you spook a fish (fly line landing on fish) it doesn’t matter what color it is
Yes mate🙌
Also use a high visibility line in orange.
What do you think would look better with a nickel finish fly reel bright orange or lime green?
@@JasonReilich What I think does not matter. Only you can make that choice. Sort of like blonde, brunette, or redhead. It is a personal choice.
I agree with you in this, i use colored line myself :)
Much easier to see the line for us as fishermen🎣🙌
Thanks a lot for this!
Thank you🙌🎣
