Quick take
Scientific Anglers' Amplitude Textured Trout fly line in a 5 weight suits anglers who fish dry flies and small nymphs for trout. Its textured floating tip keeps delicate presentations on the surface, and the shooting texture on the running line helps with medium to long casts. It is built for moderate and cold climates, and its welded loops make it easy to connect leaders and backing.
