When the stakes are high and the target fish are stronger than ever, Cortland’s 50+ Series Freshwater Fly Lines deliver performance you can count on.

Precision and Distance with the 50+ Cannon Fly Line

When the perfect cast can mean the difference between landing a trophy fish or missing an opportunity, the 50+ Cannon Fly Line is designed to deliver. Ideal for long-distance casting, the 50+ Cannon allows anglers to reach distant fish with ease and precision. With a finely-tuned balance of weight and taper, this line casts smoothly and accurately, maintaining stability even under challenging casting conditions. The 50+ Cannon’s exceptional casting distance helps anglers reach fish that other lines simply can’t, giving you a significant advantage in open water and larger freshwater environments. Whether you’re casting across a river or targeting fish lurking in deeper channels, the 50+ Cannon ensures your fly lands exactly where it needs to be, without sacrificing control or presentation quality.

Dive Deep with the 50+ Series Heavy Sink Line

For anglers who need to reach fish in the depths, the 50+ Series Heavy Sink Fly Line is crafted to get you there. With a 30-foot Type 8 sinking head that plummets at 7-8 inches per second, this line is engineered to deliver your fly quickly to deeper waters, where large freshwater predators often reside. The transition from the sinking head to an intermediate running line provides a seamless descent, ensuring that your fly reaches the target depth smoothly without spooking fish. Whether you’re fishing in fast currents or still waters, the Heavy Sink line’s precision weight distribution allows it to maintain stability and control, ensuring an ideal presentation in even the deepest waters. With the Heavy Sink Fly Line, Cortland has created a reliable tool for anglers who pursue fish in places most others can’t reach.

Versatility in Every Cast with the 50+ Series Intermediate Fly Line

Not every fishing condition calls for extremes—sometimes, a versatile approach yields the best results. The 50+ Series Intermediate Fly Line provides flexibility and reliability across varying depths and water types. This intermediate line is crafted to hover just below the surface, making it perfect for situations where fish are cruising through mid-depths or in shallower waters. With its intermediate sink rate, the line is suitable for a range of freshwater environments, from lakes to rivers. It allows anglers to cover more water efficiently and gives them the adaptability needed for changing conditions. When you’re fishing unpredictable waters, the 50+ Intermediate Fly Line’s balance of control, depth, and presentation makes it a go-to choice.

Built to Withstand and Perform in Any Condition

The advanced construction of the 50+ Series Fly Lines ensures they perform in even the most challenging environments. With Cortland’s exclusive Grip Set Technology, the line’s surface enhances hook-setting capabilities and provides a tactile feel during retrieval, giving anglers greater confidence with each cast. Additionally, the Tropic Plus coating offers durability and a smooth, slick surface, even in high-temperature conditions where other lines might become sticky or lose their performance edge. The combination of these technologies results in a fly line that not only casts farther and retrieves smoothly but also holds up against the wear and tear of intense fishing conditions. When durability, performance, and precision matter most, the 50+ Series Freshwater Fly Lines by Cortland stand as a dependable companion.
