OLDE FLY SHOP FLY LINE WF-3F ／ WF-6F WEIGHT FORWARD FLOATING, CHARTREUSE ／WHITE
Mark Hopkins The OLDE FLY SHOP WF-3F / WF-6F is a weight-forward (WF) floating fly line available in two weights (3F and 6F) and a chartreuse/white color scheme. Here’s a breakdown of its key features:
Specs & Features:
1. Line Type:
– Weight-Forward (WF) – Designed for easier casting, with a thicker front section that carries momentum.
– Floating (F) – Stays on the water’s surface, ideal for dry flies, nymphs with indicators, and streamers.
2. Weights Available:
– WF-3F – A lighter line suited for small streams, delicate presentations, and smaller fish (trout, panfish).
– WF-6F – A medium-weight line for larger rivers, wind resistance, and bigger flies (bass, larger trout).
3. Color:
– Chartreuse/White – High-visibility for tracking line movement on the water.
4. Best Uses:
– Dry fly fishing
– Nymphing with a strike indicator
– Streamer fishing (especially the 6F)
– Freshwater species (trout, bass, panfish)
Pros & Considerations:
✔ WF taper helps with quick loading and longer casts.
✔ Bright color improves visibility in various light conditions.
✔ Floating design versatile for most freshwater applications.
⚠ Not ideal for deep nymphing or sinking techniques (consider a sinking line if needed).
