Cortland Headwater - Small Water - Floating Fly Line Olive / Moss

The Cortland Trout Series Headwater Fly Line is specifically designed for challenging waters: high-altitude meadow streams, narrow and wild mountain creeks with selective brook trout, and crystal-clear limestone spring rivers. With its true line classification, combined with a short body and front taper, it enables precise and delicate fly presentations while optimally loading the rod—especially at short distances.

The supple braided core prevents the line from deforming or tangling when stored on small reels. Its subtle olive-green color ensures a discreet approach, making each presentation exceptionally inconspicuous. This fly line is available in line classes 1 to 4 and features Cortland’s innovative Shooting Technology, which reduces friction and facilitates casting over longer distances. Thanks to its versatility, the Trout Series Headwater Fly Line is not only perfect for dry fly presentations but can also deliver nymphs, wet flies, and small streamers with high precision. Whether it’s a fine ant imitation over rapids or a Sulphur Spinner for rising trout at dusk—this line offers reliable performance.

The innovative Heat-Tempered Surface Treatment (HTX) enhances the line’s smoothness and protects it from dirt, oil, and water deposits. This ensures extended durability and consistent performance even in harsh conditions. The dual welded loops on both ends simplify connections to backing and leader, ensuring smooth fishing without unnecessary effort. Designed for use in cold to moderate water temperatures, the line performs reliably both in winter trout streams and during summer dry fly presentations. The short body and front taper provide ideal rod loading at short distances, while the compact build and specialized coating allow for precise long-distance casts.

With the Cortland Trout Series Headwater Fly Line, fly anglers get a fly line specifically designed for challenging small waters—precise, versatile, and durable.
