Cortland Products
Ask someone who's been fly fishing for a number of years what fly line they started with. Chances are, it
was a 444, and the chances are good that they still have it somewhere. They just refused to wear out.
Today, in addition to all of the specialty lines Cortland makes, they still make the peach 444.  Years of
devotion to fly fishing, knowledge, and an unsurpassed product. This is how traditions are born, and
traditions never fade away. They just get better with age. This is where it all started, and the tradition
continues today with the most innovative flylines in the world.

Cortland Brook Series rods.
The new Precision Taper with Dyna Tip and Rocket 2
taper loads today's rods quickly and I can tell you that
the Dyna tip won't sink and lands more softly than any
line! If you like a supple line, you're going to be
pleased! Mint green with sage green tip.  
Available in
WF4 - 7
New for '07!! Cortland Precision Dyna Tip
Price: $62.00
New! 555 HIGH FLOATING "DYNA" TIP
555 Floating fly line in Mango with Dyna Tip - A new addition to the 555 line up for cold water fishing. The
Dyna Tip is engineered on a braided nylon core with 555 coatings to create a supple line for cold water
conditions plus the added benefit of a 4' high floating tip section. Possibly the best all around floating trout,
salmon and steelhead fly line available. With water at a specific gravity of 1.0 and the majority of floating
lines at .9, the 555 Dyna-Tip tip section floats at .6, making it the only “dynamic tipped” fly line in the world.
Quick pick up, gentle turn over, and easy mending make this line the first choice for trout, salmon and
steelhead anglers looking for a high floating line, especially for use in cold water.
Price: $59.00
New! In a weight forward configuration (sizes 4-9
wt.),
Cortland has created an avocado color "body"
with a light sage tip
. The two tones are more subtle
than the previous mango/white combination yet the
high floating tip is still very visible and serves as a great
strike indicator for "in the film" or sub-surface fishing.
Available in WF3F - WF9F.
444SL Precision Tapers.
Important new features of the Precision Tapers include (on some models) the availability of half weight line
sizes,
two tone for easy pickup identification and an exciting new taper design called the Rocket2. Never before
has a fly line manufacturer made available fly lines designated by whole and half weights. Driven by the
tremendous diversity of fly rod actions, fly anglers will now be able to more precisely match their fly line weight
to their rod’s action. How long have we been waiting for this!!
Long front and back tapers, combined with a short body, make the Rocket2 taper directionally stable while
assisting in generating extremely tight loops, providing for the most precise presentations.
The
Precision Tapers also feature Cortland’s newest performance enhancer, Duraslik®. Duraslik® is an
entirely new formulation that dramatically increases durability and ensures that these lines will
stay slick.
Price: $55.00.
13 different Precision Tapers to
choose from.
The 444 Classic Sylk fly line is the first ever fully synthetic fly line to recreate the original appearance and
unique performance of the finest natural silk lines from the past 100 years - without all the maintenance and high
cost. With the traditionalist in mind, Cortland’s technicians have designed this line in a color that nearly matches
the look of traditional silk line coated with linseed oil and mucilin. Their suppleness makes them great cold
weather lines with virtually any fly rod. The taper of the new 444 Classic Sylk is based on traditional silk line
designs with long front tapers and longer level tips. Available in
WF2F - WF6F and DT2F - DT6F.
Suggested Retail $48.

Available in: WF3 - WF9.  DT2F - DT9F.
Price:  $46.00.
