Level vs. Tapered Fly Lines
Whether the line shall be level or taper, is, in a way, a matter of taste; that the line be a fine one, in the sense of quality, is a necessity. There are a great many worthless lines on the market although they are, presumably, "enameled, waterproof, braided silk lines." When purchasing a fly-line see that its surface is smooth, hard and free from stickiness. Bend over two inches of the end of the line and twist the strands together hard. If the enamel cracks or gives at any point a white spot will tell you that some other line is preferable. Extremely high polish is not imperative; in fact, a certain firm of tackle dealers advertises the fact that its best line is not highly polished since, they say, a too smooth line slides so freely through the water as to hamper good casting — which, it would seem, is getting things down to a rather fine point.
