From Horsehair to High-Tech
The history of the fly line is a history of problem-solving. Every generation of anglers sought a line that would cast farther, float longer, sink more predictably, require less maintenance, or present a fly more naturally.
The materials have changed. The objective has not.
One September Sunrise on the Neuse
On a September morning, the Neuse River came alive under a blazing sunrise as we partnered with The Fly Rod Chronicles and Curtis Fleming for a memorable week on the water with two veterans from Project Healing Waters. Guided by Gary DuBiel and fishing pop-n-fly setups, both anglers landed giant redfish measuring more than 40 inches. It was more than a fishing trip—it was a powerful reminder of the healing found in fellowship, wild places, and the unforgettable pull of a bull red at first light.
