More on Special Fly Lines
by Ron Robinson
Last November I discussed the use of SA’s Indicator fly lines to help
achieve more distance when fishing with a large indicator, shot and two flies (see article below).
This was a big help to me when fishing the San Juan River in the Texas Hole area. Since then I have been having a great time with Rio’s BoutBound lines that target distance in a big way. These lines
are not for delicate presentation or ultra accuracy. They are just a joy to cast for long distance
when using bigger flies. They have multiple configurations for both cold and warm water
fishing. If you want to reach out for a stripped bass with a big Clouser Minnow you should try
one of these. If you find yourself in a situation where you have limited backcast room you will
be amazed at how the “Short” version of this series makes +70' casts possible. They have a
floating and four different sink versions. If you do the math there are ten versions in a wide
range of line weights.
Now I don’t like people to purchase lines, or any fishing equipment for that matter, without
trying or doing some type of evaluation first. Therefore, I will be happy to let you cast my
limited selection to see if they fit a nitch that will help you. Give me a call at 602-867-8820
to setup a time.
