Dan I too am a novice. I talked to many fly fishing shops before buying new
line last time I bought it. Everyone of them told me to go with WF.

I want to start fly fishing and have rod (5 wt) and reel (7wt). I will buy
a
5 wt floating line since this has recommended for me, but am wondering
whether a weight forward or double taper would be appropriate. I see the
advantage of the DT is that you get twice the use because you can reverse
it
eventually. I would also think that since my reel is a bit large for my
rod/line weight that a double taper might be appropriate. Do you guys
think
it would be a good idea or should I just get a weight forward line? Also,
does it matter which exactly one I get? I have been told to get the best
or
close to it. Do you have any specific recommendations as to brand?

TIA
