An Excellent line,
August 20, 2012
By: NORFOLKBROADSMAN
from Norfolk UK
"I use this line for much of my surface pike flyfishing sessions and find it casts like a dream and presents my flies at just the depth I require without "waking" on the surface or snagging bottom!"

Great Fly Line,
May 11, 2012
By: CaptGary
from Virginia
"I installed my new Streamer Stripper line on my 9 wt. Loomis Cross Current as soon as it arrived.
Fished it the next day with some big, wind-resistant bass bugs and deer hair top water baits. This line would cast with ease and roll those big bugs out perfectly. Tied on some big stripped bass streamers and they handled great. Can't wait to fish it for stripers on the Chesapeake Bay this season."

Emerger Lake line,
May 11, 2012
By: BoobbyC
from Port Townsend WA
"I selected the stream stripper with heavy SHORT head for lakes. I tried it casting to the fish feeding on emergers namely the rings and had 4 fish in the first hour . IThe 3weight casts well on a 4 wt due to heavy head and the floating portion does sinks only slightly near the heavy head. It's a great line."

Maybe it's just me, but...,
April 25, 2012
By: Z06Michigan
"I bought a 6wt Streamer Stripper fly line for use on a 6wt fiberglass rod instead of using split shot to get my streamer down in faster moving water. I never got that far. When I went out to lawn cast it, it just wouldn't cast well for me.
I tried different fly rods from slow to fast, and, 5wt, 6wt, 7wt. Same basic result.
I have a lot of Orvis gear, all well versed in their intended use, just not this line. Maybe it's just me..."

Excellent short sink tip line,
April 24, 2012
By: Viennafisherman
from Vienna, VA
"Easy to cast and easy to mend line with a short, fast sinking tip. Works very well to fish streamers and nymphs up to the depth allowed by the tip. I purchased it to fish in an area 3-6' deep and with current, where it performed very well. One detail prevented the 5 stars: the front loop made with nail knots could have been made with better alignment between the two pieces of line and smoother. I plan to serve it with wrapping thread and coat it."

Great line,
April 19, 2012
By: sierrafishin
from Eastern Sierras, CA
"I just fished this line last week, on a sierra river. The wind was howling, but I was able to make great casts with this 5wt line using my new 8'-6" Clearwater II rod. Even in these "normal" sierra conditions the line was perfect. It got my flies down into the feeding zone and I hooked up on some nice hard belly bows and browns.
This line even casts nice with my cane rod, so I ordered a second one. I fish mostly wet flies and streamers, so I think I just found my new favorite line!
Have a GUD season."

Does what it says on the box,
April 3, 2012
By: SalmotruttaFario
from Wellesley MA
"Casts very nicely and the tip sinks well. Ideal for pulling woolly buggers through the shallow pond I fish. I have tried the added sink tips onto floating lines but this is much easier to cast and doesn't overwhelm my 5wt. Possibly some surface imperfections on the line but these might be a result of me standing on it! Quality act!"

Do it all Line,
March 27, 2012
By: WoodyNC
"The streamer stripper line is a must have for any angler. The line is extremely slick and durable and versatile enough to be used for nymphing deep pools and casting streamers to a variety of fish species.
There have been a number of days on the water when I was struggling to land fish on floating line and then switched over to the sinking tip and successfully began landing numerous fish. Thanks Orvis!"

By: KingsSilversReds
from Lynn, MA
"Got this line in 10wt for stripe bass fishing last summer. Handled very well and kept my streamer at the perfect depth ove rthe rocks. I liked it so much that I bought the 8wt for an upcoming trip to Alaska for salmon and trout. Can't wait to see how it handles in the river."

Great Fly line,
February 28, 2012
By: cvhdvm
from SE MI
"I purchased this line in a 4 wt to throw streamers like mini Zoo Cougars on my local trout stream. Water levels during the late summer and early fall are low, so I wanted a fast sinking line to get the flies down quickly. The line turns over easily without having to have a lot of line out, and gets down fast - which is perfect for the small streams I'll be fishing. Big fly = big fish, but Orvis = great quality."

"A great addition to your arsonel. It really helps get your fly in the strike zone for more hook ups & not any harder to cast. I highly recommend this especially with fluorocarbon leader"

"I own many Orvis lines and all have been great except for this one. The sink tip portion on the line will not hold a loop and will collapse during casting every time. Be ready for wind knots and other problems. two thumbs down on the streamer stripper!!!!"

Good Line!,
November 18, 2011
By: Brucezorro
from South Africa
"Ever since I learned to fly fish, I have wanted an Orvis fly line. I was not dissapointed with my first purchase. This line is very supple with a nice taper that suites my casting style. I had been looking for a sink tip for my 3 weight for a while and was happy to find Orvis made one! This line was loaded onto my Battenkill LA I reel at the factory for me. Overall they loaded the line well, my only gripe is the way the loop was done in the flyline. It seems to have been done in a real rush as there is glue messed on the loop and furthur down the line. I think I will replace the loop in time."
