# **How to Choose Intermediate Weight Forward Floating Fly Fishing Line WF4/5/6/7/8 I 100FT**
Choosing the right fly fishing line is crucial for a successful day on the water. The **KyleBooker Intermediate Weight Forward (WF) Floating Fly Fishing Line** in sizes **WF4/5/6/7/8 I 100FT** is designed for versatility, performance, and ease of casting. Whether you’re targeting trout, bass, or saltwater species, selecting the correct line weight and taper will significantly impact your fishing experience.
In this guide, we’ll break down the key factors to consider when choosing the best **WF floating fly line** for your needs.
## **1. Understanding Line Weight (WF4/5/6/7/8)**
Fly lines are classified by weight (WF4, WF5, WF6, etc.), which corresponds to the rod’s weight rating. The **KyleBooker Intermediate WF Floating Line** comes in multiple weights to match different fishing conditions:
– **WF4 & WF5**: Ideal for small streams, delicate presentations, and targeting trout or panfish with lightweight rods (3-5 wt).
– **WF6**: A versatile choice for medium-sized rivers, bass fishing, and larger trout.
– **WF7 & WF8**: Best for windy conditions, saltwater fishing, or targeting larger species like pike and salmon.
**Pro Tip:** Match your line weight to your rod’s recommended rating for optimal performance.
## **2. Weight Forward (WF) Taper Design**
The **Weight Forward (WF)** taper is the most popular fly line design because it helps with:
– **Easier Long-Distance Casting** – The concentrated weight in the front section loads the rod efficiently.
– **Better Turnover** – The tapered front helps leaders and flies turn over smoothly.
– **Wind Resistance** – The WF design cuts through wind better than double taper (DT) lines.
The **KyleBooker WF Floating Line** features a smooth, well-balanced taper for effortless casting accuracy.
## **3. Floating vs. Sinking Lines**
This line is a **floating** fly line, meaning it stays on the water’s surface. Floating lines are ideal for:
– Dry fly fishing
– Nymphing with indicators
– Popper fishing for bass
However, if you need to fish deeper, consider pairing it with a sinking leader or a full sinking line.
## **4. Intermediate vs. Full Floating Lines**
The **”I”** in **WF4/5/6/7/8 I** stands for **Intermediate**, meaning the line has a slight density that allows it to sink very slowly—just below the surface. This is perfect for:
– Stillwater fishing (lakes & ponds)
– Stripping streamers just under the surface
– Avoiding surface disturbance in clear water
If you prefer a **full-floating** line, ensure the product description specifies **”F”** instead of **”I.”**
## **5. Durability & Coating Technology**
The **KyleBooker WF Floating Line** features:
– **High-quality PVC coating** for smooth casting and long-lasting performance.
– **Low memory core** to prevent coiling in cold weather.
– **Anti-abrasion finish** for extended use in freshwater and light saltwater conditions.
## **6. Choosing the Right Length (100FT Standard)**
A standard fly line is **90-100 feet**, and the **KyleBooker line comes in 100FT**, providing ample length for most fishing scenarios. If you’re fishing large rivers or saltwater flats, ensure you have enough backing to complement the line.
## **Final Thoughts**
Selecting the right **Intermediate Weight Forward Floating Fly Line** depends on your target species, fishing environment, and rod setup. The **KyleBooker WF4/5/6/7/8 I 100FT** offers a balanced blend of casting ease, durability, and versatility—making it an excellent choice for anglers of all skill levels.
