Medium / Long Range Dry Fly Line

An excellent fly line for both nymph and dry fly fishing. My setup comprises of a Sage ESN #2 10ft rod and Landon Guru 1.5 reel with a JL #2 line. The line casts effortlessly and accurately with the duo method, droppers or single fly. A delight to use.

I ordered a floating line for my 10 foot 3 weight rod. I was pretty sceptical but thought it worth a punt at the price. I wasn’t expecting much. The line was neatly packaged with small loops at each end. On Sunday 5th July I went up to one of the Dunnet Head Lochs Caithness. I am a reasonably competent caster but certainly nothing special. When the white area was at the rod tip I launched my cast and too my great surprise the whole length of the line in my hand extended in a nice straight line and fell softly on to the surface of the water. I was flabbergasted. I am just ordering a 5 weight line for another rod

I was fishing the JL one weight on my 2 weight and Zero weight Sunrays, (Yes I know I’m tight but one was at close range and the other Italian style. OK and I also live in Yorkshire.) when I bumped into a fellow and far better angler who was also fishing Sunray lines. We agreed that the lines were pure genius. Another top rate product from Sunray. Easy casting with a featherweight touch.

"When fishing in rivers, I like to be able to change from nymphs to dry flies and back in accord to the fishing conditions. Specially in the river where I fish, grayling will rise on narrow time periods along the day , and one has to adapt very quickly. The JL fly line came to fulfill all my expectations, as it allows me to present and keep contact nymphs in the short range, while it is a great line for presenting dries in the short to medium range. No line that I know will deliver such a beautiful loop and land with such a low disturbance, as the JL do."

I bought several different lines and they are all great. The best thing is how they land lightly on the water.

Primarily, I use dry fly-, dry dropper- and Euro nymphing techniques to catch graylings and brownies. As a fly fisherman, I`m usually always on the move when I fish... trying to cover many fishing spots in relatively short time. Thus, I really dislike carrying many rods with me. I have used JL Dry Fly line for couple of months now and I especially like, how easily am able to alter between my preferable fishing techniques with just minor changes to the leader/tippet, without making any compromises to the effectiveness of the techniques. Good show!

"Today, roughly 25 years after Mike Weaver's book The Pursuit of Wild Trout introduced me to the ruggedly-magical rivers and brooks of Dartmoor, I finally managed to recce sections of three of them. A 10ft #3, 4-metre French Leader, 1 metre of level 3lbs tippet and either a Retirer Sedge (17-19) or Oppo (16) took care of the small, plentiful and lightning-fast lower-to-middle Cherry Brook brownies until lunchtime. Afterwards, a stiffening wind and steady rain called for a little extra support (in the form of a #3 Jeremy Lucas presentation line from Tom Bell at Sunray) in order to best tackle the lower Cowsic Brook and upper West Dart. Dramatic moorland scenery, gin-clear rough-and-tumble pocket water and hungry, upward-looking, feisty and vividly-coloured fish aplenty in Hound of the Baskervilles country. Precisely the kind of environment I enjoy fishing the most - and all for only a tenner! Without doubt the best-value day ticket fishing I've ever enjoyed - an ambition fulfilled and then some."
