Ask Curated a question about this product:

The Orvis Hydros Superfine Fly Line is designed for trout fishing when flies need to be presented delicately, such as when fishing small dry flies to spooky trout. The line is an excellent choice when fishing small creeks when accuracy and stealth are important so not to spook fish. This line comes in line weights of 1-5.

Key Features

  • AST Slickness - The AST coating on this line not only protects the line but also provides added slickness for smoother and faster casts.
  • Welded Loops - There is a welded loop on each end of the line making it easier and quicker to attach backing and a leader multiple times.
  • Braided Multifilament Core - The core of this line is designed for fishing cold to moderate water temperatures.
  • Orvis Line ID - The line taper, weight and functionality is printed on the line to allow for quick identification of the line when swapping spools or changing line.

The camo-colored head on this fly line blends into the canopy overhead and makes it the ideal choice for anyone targeting Brook Trout or doing any type of small stream fishing. This is not a line that is going to cast super long distances so anything under 30 feet this line will excel at. The Hydros Series is... Read more

3WT Hydros Superfine

Originally posted at www.orvis.com on Aug 18, 2024
This line is great. I went with the 3WT and put it on my creek/blue line rod (Battenkill click reel, 7'6" 3WT Clearwater) and it is awesome. It really makes the whole thing work. Couldn't recommend it more.

Matt helped me out of the fog and the overwhelming state I was in trying to buy my first Flyfishing set up…. I would still be fishing for gear a month from now if it wasn’t for him sticking his hand out to me.
5 /5
I’ve dealt with more than a handful of folks on fb marketplace that were downright aggressive, mean, and unhelpful to me over a series of exchanges in my search for gear. Matt was everything but. He not only pointed me in the right direction but he was friendly and knowledgeable as well. I needed all the help I could get and he was there. Thanknu again Matt.

I'm an intermediate angler with little knowledge of equipment. Rylyn was very responsive to all my questions, even the ones I thought were stupid. Very open about what he does and how he is paid. I highly recommend him.

I bought an open box Orvis fishing rod and it was at a great price. The condition of the rod and the shipping time exceeded my expectations. The information I received from Capt. Mark was accurate and helpful. I would definitely buy from Curated again.

Helped me with some valuable fly fishing knowledge that I lack coming from the conventional fishing world. Hooked me up with a good starter rod and even price matched it with another company. Will be coming back for a reel soon.
