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.?


I have at least one line that has the weight & taper printed in very
small letters on the coating. Can't remember who did that, but it's
worth a look.

Cortland "Lazer Line", perhaps?

Seems to me with all the quoting of line weights and the slinging thereof here
abouts in the last week - including tables, links, etc - one could simply
weigh the first 30 feet and look up the classification...
