"We never throw the line out at the club. We use it as tails on dragonflies and the likes...The blues and greens were especially
useful but clear it also quite nifty.

Does anyone else have a use for old lines??"

If you have an old fluorescent orange line, snip pieces about an inch or so long, pull out the thread core, and pull these sections into place on your tippet to use as strike indicators. This technique is widely used in Colorado. I saw some guys using three of these indicators spaced about 18" apart while nymphing the Fryingpan River below Ruedi Dam. Using more that one gives you an indication of the depth the nymph is drifting and also the direction of the nymph in relationship to the indicator.
