Best general fly line for Zambezi tigerfish
Getting bulkier flies down deep fast, and for them to stay deep, has proved a challenge to me when targeting tigerfish, especially in colder water conditions. Lower to higher temperature range adds to the complexity in choice of one general line; coating and core. I contacted Cortland for advice and Scott suggested this line as the best option. It is. After having fished the Upper Zambezi hard during long days for a couple of weeks, I will not go without this fast sinker for tigers. It gets everything down deep faster than anything I have used before. One is soon fishing right on or over the bottom with this one. It still needs stretching now and then, but it is as good as it gets. Delivery is powerful, fast and one easily covers good distance with heavy flies and wire-leaders. The short sink 9 head makes it a breeze back-casting from the boat close to a shoreline full of high vegetation, and the pale shooting line is an easy marker for when to let go of the double-haul. The best default tigerline around IMO. Thank you for this line, Cortland - and for the advice, Scott.
