Cortland Hover Flyline

Cortland 444 Hover - Slow Intermediate-

The Cortland 444 Hover Fly Line is the ideal line for fishing in still waters, such as lakes or coastal areas for sea trout when there is no wind—perfect whenever your fly line should remain just below the water's surface without sinking deeper.

Thanks to a special polymer blend, it has a neutral density and sits just beneath the surface tension without sinking throughout the presentation. This makes it perfect for situations where fish are feeding just below the surface—whether targeting emerging insects or searching for active predators in shallow water. It is also ideal for avoiding surface disturbance caused by the line.

The Cortland 444 Hover Fly Line features a smooth, braided nylon multifilament core and a well-thought-out long taper design, enabling precise presentation of various fly patterns. Whether using small nymphs, wet flies, or streamers, this line provides the versatility needed to keep your flies in the upper water column. Its specialized composition makes it an excellent choice for cold to moderate water temperatures, performing optimally in spring as well as on warmer summer days.

With welded loops on both ends, attaching leaders and backing is effortless, while the carefully designed weight distribution ensures smooth presentations and easy line control. The Cortland 444 Hover Fly Line is available in line weights 6 to 8, providing a reliable solution for anglers looking to keep their fly in the upper water layer.
