HAYES Skyline - The Polaroiding Advantage
HAYES Skyline - The Polaroiding Advantage - $110 posted to you
Big fish and blue skies are the dream
ingredients for sight fishing. Just like the Kiwis are emphatic that an olive
line must be used to blend in with the beech trees I am convinced that
the skyline is 'THE POLAROIDING ADVANTAGE' for all Australian lake fishing.
Last winter I visited the USA on a working fly
fishing holiday. How lucky am I. I spent a week at the Federation of Fly
Fishers Conclave in Montana and whilst there I met Bruce Richards. Apart from
being a nice guy and being perhaps the greatest technical caster on the planet, Bruce knows more about making fly lines than anyone else alive.
When I asked Bruce what the greatest
advancement in fly line technology was over the past 33 years that he has
worked for Scientific Anglers he thought for a moment then said. “ The
manufacturing processes Peter".
It is possible for us to sit here at my laptop
and design a line for any fishing situation then send the data file over the
internet directly to the machine in the factory where it will be made. We can
go and try casting it this afternoon”
Wow….. that means we can easily make a line for
the lake fishing in Tasmania and Australia generally ? “Of course we can” Bruce
said. The Hayes Skyline was born on the picnic table
that lunchtime.
Based on a GPX taper and weighted half a size
heavier the SKYLINE will load rods at the shorter polaroiding distances that so
often sight fishing dictates.
The line is sky blue in colour to better blend
with the ambient light conditions of blue sky days and lake fishing
environments.
A welded loop on the leader end makes it easy to change leaders
that is so often necessary for successful lake fishing.
Whilst the line is designed for blue sky
polaroiding on the lakes of Tasmania and the Snowy Mountains I believe it is a
more appropriate colour for any lake fishing situation that as Australian fly
fishermen we do so much of.
These lines have the revolutionary AST coating
that makes them so slippery they will shoot into the next postcode.
Sure, if you are fishing in the beech forest
rivers of New Zealand buy an olive line. Do yourself a favor and consider one
of my HAYES SKYLINES as your next
lake fishing line.
