Große Fliege

Haven’t used it yet. Out of commission due to health issues but chomping at the bit.

Like the fly line very much. Using for everything from dry flies for trout to popping bugs in a bass ponds.

Cortland and I go way back. 20 years ago I had a Cortland fly rod and loved it! Also used Corland 444 a lot over the years. I needed a new floating line for my 5wt and wanted something designed for big flies. My 5 weight, a Scott G2, is my big fly freshwater rod. Think hopper/dropper and even smaller streamers where i don't need a sinking tip, or sinking line. In any case, I had the "Big Fly " line out for the first time and was very impressed. As you might expect, it has a heavy head and handles similar to a saltwater shooting line, but that is what I love about it. It loads even a touch rod like the G2, very quickly, and if you double haul it will shoot 20--30 feet of line no problem, with enough inertia to lay out even a long leader, with a big streamer attached, no problem. Can't wait to throw some big double dries this summer! I like it so much, I will be selling my 6wt soon!
