Our favorite and most versatile trout line currently offered on the market. The Finesse Trout has a gradual front taper allowing anglers to turn their tightline nymphing rod (10’ 4wt, 10’ 3wt, 10’ 2wt, 11’ 3wt, 10’ 6” 3wt, 10’ 6” 4wt) into a “do-it-all” setup.

The gradual front taper allows for easy high stick nymphing, dry dropper fishing, and will cast a single dry fly with ease. Less mass means easier shooting and line management. This highly adaptive line can be fished with a dry fly, indicator rig, heavy streamer, or dry dropper. When you don’t want sag in your line, but a level nymph line just isn’t enough to turn over the rig, this is your silver bullet trout line.

The only line you need. We recommend the 3/4wt line on any of the aforementioned rod configurations. The thin diameter of this line easily feeds and casts through the small diameter guides of most nymph rods currently offered on the market.

Here is what Cortland has to say-

• Delicate Presentations
• High Floating
• Highly Accurate

“Our revolutionary Finesse Trout II was designed for lighter nymph rigs, dry flies and swinging wets. The extended body allows the angler to easily mend and adjust drifts in complex currents. The long front taper allows for a soft presentation. Built a half line size heavy to quickly load modern fast action rods.”
