Guideline Classic Trout WF floating fly line
The Guideline Classic Trout WF Floating is a 100% floating fly line designed for versatile use. Its WF (Weight Forward) taper makes casting easy, loads the rod quickly and offers excellent distance control. It is an all-rounder fly line, ideal on rivers as well as lakes/reservoirs for dry-fly fishing, light nymphing or wet-fly fishing.
Density and on-the-water behavior
| Version | Density | On-the-water read |
|---|---|---|
| Float / Floating | 100% floating | Stays on the surface for optimal drift control and clean presentations: ideal for dry flies, light nymphing, wet flies and slow retrieves on lakes. |
Recommended uses
- River: dry-fly fishing, Euro Nymphing, wet-fly fishing, good drift management and clean presentations.
- Lake / reservoir: bung fishing, dry flies, light nymphs, wet flies, small streamers fished "high" just under the surface.
- Versatility: an excellent "baseline" fly line to outfit a versatile trout rod.
Key benefits
