A great 2wt,
March 5, 2013
By: HatchMatcher
from London
"This lines slips effortlessly through the guides and it's low diameter makes minimal impact on the water. It turns over beautifully (well as beautifully as my casting allows any line to) and the loop at the end of the line is very practical."

"Got the 3wt which is a lovely line to cast, being a beginner this line helped me improve my casting. One thing though, sometimes my fly is getting caught on the welded loop, no fault of Orvis, just my casting."

7 WT FOR A 5 WT,
November 26, 2012
By: WILDUR
from Annapolis, Md
"Since ORVIS had the 7 Wt floating line on sale, at a price too good to pass up, I thought I'd give it a swing on my 5 wt rod. I know that most rods will take a line weight above and below the stamped rating, I though I'd try 2. For casting very heavy dries and a tandem of large nymphs, with split shot and a strike indicator, the 7 wt was the ticket."

Hy-flote fly line deal,
September 10, 2012
By: TroutSeeker
from Loveland, CO
"I just got the delivery of this line and even without having it on the water, I can tell it was a great buy. This will be my new "go to line" that I plan to add to my best fly reel/rod combo. I love Orvis products and have always been pleased with all my purchases from Orvis (flies, tippet, tying materials, wading boots, fishing cloths, ect) and this is no exception. I now just added this quality line under $20 on sales (great mark down price) to my list from Orvis. There is no way that I would have found this high of quality line even in the bargain bins at most stores/sites. Thanks Orvis! Can't wait to hook into my next bow with this one."

"I carry extra lines and spools now. This line coupled with my intermediate fits most water conditions thru the day. I use one weight heavier (9wt on 8wt rod) on floating lines and this line works well with that mix."

"This is the first line that I spent more than $15 on and it was definitely well worth it. It shoots well, casts perfectly, has high visibility and the premade loop at the head makes for great connections to the leader."

"I have used this line 5wt on the following three rods: 10.6ft 6wt Ultimate Orvis rod, 10ft Ultimate orvis rod and 10ft Western 6 wt Orvis.
It casts perfectly.I like the line as it lands on the water very gently when I am not trying to spook shy trout.It also casts in a good highland blow and the extra long head makes casting in the dark/low light a breeze. I have used all top brands(xs snow) but I would put this line with the top ones. I just wish Orvis continues to make this line. I would highly reccommend this line."

Excellent Product and Excellent Service,
July 31, 2012
By: Tnflyguy
"I called my local Orvis store to find out if they carried this product or if I would need to order on line. The store manager informed me that it wasn't in stock but took the time to place the order for me over the phone. The product was shipped within two days and the e-mail containing tracking information was very useful."
