It sounds like cutting the taper off a DT line would make it act as a
level
line. Now wondering if Gary Borger thought it was a stupid thing when he
wrote about it in his "Nymphing" book on the section of casting heavy
weighted flies?


Just because Mr. Borger wrote instead of Mr. Me, does not mean it's
not a stupid thing to do. Unless of course one is in the industry and
his inventory of DT fly lines needs to be reduced. Its' not a new
idea, both Steve and I mentioned level taper fly lines.


So what's a level taper fly line?
