Guideline Classic Trout Fly Line

Introducing the Guideline Classic Trout Fly Line, a series of well-balanced fly lines that covers more or less everything a trout angler needs. With a universal taper and an extensive density range, this is truly a great all-round series of weight forward trout lines for anglers at all levels.

The Classic Trout WF Fly Line is the perfect choice for the fly angler who wants a true all-round fly line with a smooth, supple coating and an easy-to-cast taper. This line suits anyone in need of a reliable trout line — regardless of experience level. The range includes a traditional floating version, an intermediate line, and several high-density sinking models, ensuring you are prepared for any situation.

Highly user-friendly, this line performs well in a variety of fishing conditions. It’s an excellent option for anglers transitioning from beginner to intermediate, offering what we call the “perfect compromise.” All models feature a single density and single colour throughout both head and running line. Built on a 6% low-stretch core, it helps detect even subtle takes. It comes pre-looped at both ends and includes an ID tag on the front loop sleeve.

With a relatively short front taper of 2 m (6.5 ft) and a forward-based weight distribution, this line loads easily and casts smoothly. The 6 m (19.7 ft) belly provides enough mass to turn over a variety of flies, while the balanced front allows for delicate presentations. A 4 m (13.1 ft) back taper adds loop stability and control throughout the cast. This is a truly universal taper that handles most fishing situations — rivers, lakes, and even coastal waters.

The Guideline Classic Trout Fly Line is available in a range of densities and line ratings for you to choose from in our drop down menu.
