Cleaning out the boat the other day, I came across a flyline, but do
not know the weight. Could be a 4 or 5 wt. Doubt is from the 8 wt. Is
there a diameter chart related to wt.?


You'd have to weigh it: http://css.sbcma.com/timj/flyline_chart.htm



Its interesting to see how much weight even our "light" trout rods
toss. My little 4 weight needs over a 1/4 of an ounce to make it work.
Most of my old spinning rods threw less weight than that.
