Quick take
A 90-foot weight-forward fly line in moss color, half-size heavy grain for easier casting and designed for beginning fly fishers.
The Orvis Clearwater 6-weight is a 90-foot moss-colored fly line with a weight-forward taper that helps load the rod for accurate casts. Its front welded loop makes it quick to attach to leaders or backing, and the multifilament core suits cool to moderate water. It is a practical all-around choice for anglers working trout streams, ponds and lakes.
