Learned some new stuff today!

[LorenWilliams]

One other things I do is to lay out a large batch towel in front of me and I keep it wet. It covers stuff that will/can grab your line and it keeps the line wet between casts.

The first US made intermediate line I remember (in the mid 1960's) was made by SA for O***s, it was a woven dacron with amber coating (to look like the old silk lines). It was made in WF & DT from 3wt to 12wt and was very popular for both fresh and saltwater FF.

In the 1970's SA had their own Intermediate lines in a light green color, both DT and WF. Lefty showed us how to take a 8wt or 9wt DT and cut it in half to make a 41 ft head, we would direct splice an inter. shooting/running line to the head and make up our own "Long Belly" Intermediate lines. This was well prior to the commercial longer head WF lines.

Cortland had an early Intermediate in WF and DT in a bright blue color, it was similar to the SA/O***s line and many liked it for fresh water streamers and wet flys.

Later SA introduced the Monocore lines (for saltwater) which were amber colored (later clear) mono WF lines,,,,they never became popular due to the short 30ft head length. These were the original "Slime Line".

A few years after the SA Mastery series was created they introduced the Stillwater lines for fresh water lake fishing. In addition, SA made special tapers for saltwater with clear line variations.

Hey Juice- Guess we shouldn't have pitched that lake line that came on your lamson spool because it was sticky, eh?

[Davyfly]

Yes, that's about right, it was in the early 70s l first had hold of one of the SA slow sink lines. Which was also the line we did same for shooting heads fishing the reservoirs back in my homelands.

I also had some great sinking and sink tip lines from Garcia at that time also Gladding, ( Aquasink) in fact l still have some of those lines as unused, they were at that time the fastest sinking line out there, at least a conventional fly line, till we discovered the use of making shooting heads with Gladding mark 5 lead core line. Killer stuff to cast with but boy did it drag those big browns up from the depth's.

Aaron, to be correct a brace is a unit if two, a used term by fisherman and hunters in the UK. That why you may read at times a brace of trout or Pheasant.
In wet fly parlance 3 or more flies would be termed as a team or cast of flies

Davy.
