[VFB] Silk Fly Line Substitute

[DragonsHeart1972]

Many local fishermen use braided twenty pound test backing dyed green or gray as a substitute fly line. It performs every bit as well as my silk line when it comes to detecting the take of a trout and casts nearly as well. I use tapered silk fly line, I guess, because I like conventional fly tackle and because I'm set in my ways. Believe me, the alternative to silk is a lot cheaper and requires a lot less maintenance. Has any one out there tried this? Any info would be appreciated. Just curious, might give it a try, someday.      Delbert (Del) Roberts   Belton, South Carolina, USA ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
