I'm setting up my buddy who is new to fly fishing with a trout rod from a blank with reel, line, etc for fishing in the Sierra creeks and rivers this upcoming season, sometimes stillwater... basically a general line. He had a hard time following the olive colored floating line on the 2 trips we took last year on the Merced just outside Yosemite. Both at 56 years old, i understand the failing eyesight thing.
I've been looking for a bright orange floating line in WF5F but don't see many options. It seems manufacturers are still hot for the olive color. I'd like to keep the line around $60 or under, and not a bargain basement low quality option. Cortland still offers their classic peach, and something called Modern Trout in the Classic 444 series in orange, both around $65 which is fine. Rio Gold comes in orange but at $99. Rio offers their Mainstream Trout in what seems to be a light green too. What else out there can be recommended for moving water, fishing dries and nymphs in moving water for those with failing eyesight? Maybe a mint green or chartreuse color could work too. Thanks!
