A Fast Sinking Line For
The Madison
Bob
Kloskowski
Having used Scientific Anglers Fly
Lines for years, I decided to give their Wet Cel Uniform
Sink Lines a try. I was looking for a Super Fast Sinking
Line that would get my Wooly Buggers and Streamers down fast
in some of the fast water stretches of the Madison River in
both Yellowstone Park and that portion of the Madison River
between Yellowstone Park and Hebgen Lake. I chose the
Scientific Anglers Uniform Sink Wet Cel V which has a sink
rate of 4.5 to 6.0 ips. For the most part the line performs
as advertised. It loads the rod beautifully and shoots
through the guides like a shooting head. The only problems
that I have encountered with the line is that it sinks so
fast if you move around at all while stripping the line in
you wind up stepping on the line and sometime getting it
tangled around your boots which is more of a fishermen's
problem than a fly line problem. The other problem would be
that after using it for several months I found that it tends
to knot very easily. I've stripped the Wet Cel V onto the
stripping apron of my float tube and found that when I
worked the line out for another cast knots would form in the
line which I had to stop and remove before recasting. I feel
that Scientific Anglers has improved this line greatly from
their earlier versions and would recommend this line to
friends.
