Headwater
The Headwater was designed for accurate, subtle presentations on small streams and spring creeks. Built true to line weight, a short body and front taper design helps load rods up close. This line features a supple braid core that remains memory free when stored on small arbor reels. A mute olive colored head eliminates line flash and allows for a stealthy approach in gin clear water.

Cleaning your fly line is very important especially when fishing saltwater. Simply pull line off your reel into a clean bucket or tub of freshwater. Put roughly 1oz or more of Cortland’s Line Cleaner solution onto a clean rag or towel. Firmly squeeze the towel with Pro Line Cleaner around the line and slowly pull line through the towel. You should be able to see dirt or discolored streaks on the towel when finished.
