What do you folks use for cleaning fly line? What type of cleaner? Do
you use a line winder?
Mel


soap, not detergent, water and a soft cloth

almost daily if I'm fishing hard, I've even been known to carry a tiny hunk
of Ivory and small cloth when the water is full of gunk ... I keep meaning
to include a small squirt bottle ( tiny not small ) of biodegradable liquid
soap as standard vest item


I USED to use dressings, but with modern lines find that clean is better
than clean and dressed

Larry L ( who believes the most important piece of tackle is the leader,
next the line, although the fly can trump them both. Give me a well
tapered leader, effective pattern, and good clean line and I'll settle for
damn near any old rod and reel ( but if you have a Winston or Ross you want
to give away ;-)
