There are hundreds of trout species making this family of fish both popular and celebrated around the world. Anglers of all ages, skill levels, and fishing styles enjoy pursuing trout which can range extensively in size, geographic location, and other characteristics.

As you prepare for a great day on the water, we’ve got you covered on trout fishing basics including how to choose the best fly line for trout. For fly fishermen, this is an area you don’t want to skimp on. Trout fly fishing lines mean everything for an effective presentation, affecting your casting distance and technique.

As you consider the best fly line for trout, here are a few things to consider.

  • Rod and reel specifications. When choosing trout fly fishing lines, a simple approach is to match the line weight to the weight of the reel to ensure the best balance and accuracy.
  • The size of the fly and the size of the fish. Once you’ve paired the line weight to your rod and reel, consider adjusting further based on both of these variables.
  • The type of fly you’re using. Fly type will help determine whether you should opt for a floating or sinking line. Floating line, considered by many as the overall best for trout, is preferred when throwing dry flies, but it can also be used with some wet flies. Streamers work best with sinking line.
