WF fly line (weight forward)

WF or weight forward fly line is called klumplinen in Danish and is probably the most used line in Denmark. WF line is called a klumpline because the line is thickest at one end, typically the front third. It is at this end of the WF fly line that the casting weight is located, which is why it is also called the casting lump. The remaining part of the weight forward line is shooting line, which is thinner to make it easier to shoot out through the eyes.

 

Where the WF fly line has its clear advantage is in the cast. It gives better control over the line during the cast and can be used more all-round than, for example, DT and ST lines.

WF fly lines are available in different densities. The density indicates the line's ability to sink and is divided into floating, intermediate and sinking.

 

When you are going to invest in new fly line, it is important to remember that the line, together with the rod, is the real workhorse of fishing, and therefore you should not skimp here. Price and quality often go hand in hand here.

How do you cast a fly?

There are many different ways to approach fly fishing. Many beginners are wary of casting techniques and have already written off fly fishing as something for them.

But like everything else, fly fishing can be learned, it just takes patience and practice.

The traditional cast in fly fishing is the overhand cast. This cast requires a lot of space behind you, as the line is cast backwards before you cast it forward towards the spot you want to hit with the fly.

As a general rule, you should keep your wrist stiff when casting. You start by swinging the rod slowly up and back to a position of approximately 10:30, after which you swing the rod further back a little faster, so that the entire line comes up and flies behind you.

When the line is completely behind you, start swinging forward in a smooth motion. The smooth motion is important to avoid knots in the line and to avoid getting the line right in your neck.

The lesser known cast in fly fishing is the underhand cast. This cast is often used when there is not much room for a back cast. Here you swing the rod in an arc out to one side, depending on whether you are left- or right-handed, and up to a position of approximately 10:00. When the rod is behind you, you lift your elbow and swing forward in a pendulum motion, thereby causing the line to unfold and move forward towards your fishing target. The goal of this cast is to get an arc on the line without using a lot of space behind you.

When you cast a fly for the first time and you present the fly perfectly in the water, the joy will never end. As a new fly fisherman, it can take time to master the casting to perfection. That's why there may be some fishing trips where you don't catch anything. But here it's just about seeing the extra dimension that fly fishing has to offer. These trips are instead used to improve your technique and the all-important cast. Because once you feel the rush, when the line unfolds and the fly lies perfectly on the surface, exactly as you wanted, it's worth all the hours, and you'll never let fly fishing go again.

  • No rush or rush

    Despite being busy with many orders, due to wild prices, I received my 3rd order for May/June today without any errors or defects. Since some of the items I had ordered were sold out, I was contacted by Rene, who I assume is partly a warehouse worker for Fluer, and together we found a good alternative.
