Hi,
On most of my single hand fly rods I use the Scientific Anglers Mastery lines in DT. I have these lines from 3 weight for my little bamboo flea rod to 9 weight for a 9 X 9 graphite salmon stick. I have used these for years and some of them were purchased while I still lived in Pennsylvania in the late 1990's. Here I use them from May after the ice goes out until October when the ice chokes the guides.
Here's a DT 7 being cast for salmon running the surf line in a bay. (2006)
Same line and rod with a fresh water fish........... (2006)
That same line is still on that same Viscount reel and I fished it last June (2012) it's as good as new. You may have read posts from me in the past about my thoughts on the brainwashing that marketing is achieving on the general fly fishing public today. I am fortunate to have grown up, and into this before there had been a 'Specialty Line' for
every type of fishing. Seriously! There are 'Steelhead lines, Salmon lines, Salt lines, Cold water lines, Tropic lines, Spring Creek lines, Distance lines, Nymphing lines, what we really need are one for Still Water and another for Riffle Fishing :upset:
While all of that has swirled around me like a giant whirlpool I have somehow continued using those Scientific Angler lines, I do have an Orvis DT and a Cortland Laser DT also. I think you can use a Scientific Angler Mastery line in DT for anything you want.
