Presentation Ultra Clear Stealth
Cortland’s Clear Intermediate is a full intermediate fly line designed for fishing clear, pressured water in freshwater and saltwater. Its transparent profile remains virtually invisible beneath the surface, while the 1.5 to 2 inches per second sink rate keeps streamers, nymphs, and baitfish patterns moving steadily through the water column. A short front taper and body load quickly, while the extended back taper supports line carry and shooting distance. The supple monofilament core provides smooth handling across a range of water temperatures.

Gives me more fish than the blue one

I think the clear intermediate line disturbes the fish less and therefore more fish :)

8 weight clear intermediate

I have been using this line in various weights from 4to 10 for years. Sinks well, durable and works fine in cold water. I appreciate GREATLY that the line grain weight is true to what used to be the standard system for all lines (ex. 8 weight is 210 grains, etc). This makes it much easier to pick the right line for your rod/casting style the FIRST time.
I especially like the very long back taper, making long casts possible.
Small diameter goes right through the wind and waves.
So happy cortland continues to make this line….i have never found one better (and i’ve tried many over the years) to match my casting style.
Also, price is excellent and appreciate that Cortland is keeping it that way.

Huge fan. Thank you Cortland.
