Ultralight Breakdown
Subtle sips, wary trout and gin clear water is what drove Cortland to develop the highly accurate Ultralight line. The Ultralight is the “go to” dry fly line for medium to large rivers when precise presentation is a must.
The unique, ultra-thin 18 ft. front taper allows for delicate presentations at greater distances through precise loop control. The thin overall diameter decreases water surface disturbance for smart, pressured trout. The Ultralight head design allows you to hold more line in the air for shots at distant rises with little effort.
The Ultralight features three visual color changes for optimal pick up and shooting points. This line features dual welded loops for convenient rigging. The Ultralight is the stealthiest, most technical, high performing taper Cortland offers that will elevate your dry fly game. Offered from a 2wt to 6wt.
As a floating line, the Ultralight is great for roll casting, easy to mend, and ideal for a wide range of dry flies. The green and yellow color helps further hide this fly line from fish while also being easy for you to see at every cast. Of course, the reliability of your fly line comes down to the core, and the braided nylon multifilament core of the Ultralight trout fly line is great at resisting coil memory. That helps make it excellent for fishing any season throughout the year.
