Harrison, you're the last person I would expect to comment on what I
touch counselor.

All of my fly lines get somewhat cleaned at least once a year, I don't
usually soak them but I take them off the reel and run them through a
damp washcloth, dry them, and then reel them back on with one of the
cortland cleaning patches they used to give you with the line (do they
still do that?) or the SA( or is Umqua?) line dressing.

While I am not afraid to spend the money when I have it to purchase
"nicer" stuff, in return I expect a certain durability, and with good
fly lines approaching the cost of a low end fly rods, I expect the damn
things to last several years.

I might be a gear whore, but not of the resources to go into a fly shop
and do a Rodney Dangerfield.
