Have you ever cleaned it?  Most fly line "dressings" are pretty much fly
line "floatants".  Other than that, just make sure if you wash it you get
all the soap off it, and if all else fails get a bandana, fill it with soft
mud at the lake, and drag the line through it just as you would a floating
line through a rag coated with "dressing".  That should help.  I have an
intermediate I treated with fly floatant one day when the adult midge action
was killer and I had forgotten my floater.  It's been 5 trips and the line
still hasn't recovered.  It's getting better, but it still resists surface
tension a little...

Subject: Sinking line issues


> I have a problem with one of my sinking lines I am hoping someone can help
with. It is a Cortland type II uniform sink, supposedly a pretty good line,
but it doesn't sink very well.....it won't break through the surface
tension. Anyone else ever havee this problem? Any remedies?
