Orvis Spring Creek

Orvis Spring Creek


Description
A revolutionary line and taper for making delicate presentations to selective fish. The extra-long 15-foot front taper will let you lay a fly on the water with barely any disturbance of the surface. ...

Reviewed by: Anonymous User ,  30 days a year , from WV

Price Paid:  $3.00 at Orvus Outlet

Summary:
Not found anything better for small stream fishing- 2wt to 4 wt

Strengths:
Great casting-does not spook fish as much as some weight forwards, like the color. Great for small streams- and lasts longer than most lines.

Weaknesses:
Not a western-big river line- not good for casting large weighted nymphs or streamers- but not intended to be either

Customer Service:
Orvis is one of the best-always

Summary:
2-weight on a 6'6" 3-weight G.Loomis with 9' or 12' 6x leader, hardly makes any ripples. Can cast 30' to 40' easily. But spend $10 more and you can get the fancy lines (e.g. Wonderline, AST)....

Strengths:
Lands very softly

Weaknesses:
None

Reviewed by: Peter Mulbjerg ,  40 days a year

Summary:
A very fine dryfly line and an ok all-round line, but I would prefer it as a dryfly line only and use a line with a shorter front taper for larger/heavier flies. As a dry fly line it is perfect.

Strengths:
This line is perfect for delicate presentation, but I have cast weighed streamers # 6, with it - looked a bit funny, but worked ok.
Floats well.
Can be cast fairly long too - I have cast almost the entire line with a 5 weight 9foot Orvis full-flex.
Presents a # 22 or large Daddy Longlegs like a feather.

Weaknesses:
Not the best for heavy flies.
