Floating, Intermediate or Sinking

A floating line fishes dry flies and nymphs near the surface, while intermediate and sinking lines take the fly down to where trout are feeding deeper. Sink rates are given in inches per second, so a faster rating gets the fly down sooner.

Taper and Line Weight

A weight forward taper casts further and turns over bigger flies, while a double taper lands more gently and can be reversed when one end wears. The line weight matches the rating of the rod and reel, which keeps the outfit balanced.
