Here is some interesting information about fly line from the Orvis podcast. Start the podcast with about 35 minutes left in the podcast for the fly line interview. Great Stuff including an interesting way to clean your fly line.
Highly interesting. Back in the day I learned the hard way what not to expose a fly line to. Insect repellent. Particularly DET, it turned the finish into a slimy sticky goo. That was a long time ago, but some lessons learned the hard way are well learned.
One technique the podcast talked about on how to clean fly line was to use a Scotch Brite pad. I was shocked!! Wouldn’t that “scrap” the coating on the fly line? Apparently not. The microscopic coating for a fly line is throughout the coating so by “scratching” a microscopic layer away from the fly line it will make it as brand new. Wow, who would have thunk it?
Listen to the podcast to hear more about this “cleaning” technique!!
