Hi all!

My name is Joćo Mota and i live in Madeira Island.

I want to try a Barrio fly line but i“m not certain which is the best one for me...

I normally cast dry flies #12/14 and some nymphs in the same size for rainbows in Madeira moutain streams, they are little water streams with pools, and I have a Redington Tempt 3wt 7'6''.

Here some pics of the streams...















Any help would be appreciated!

Cheers!

Hi Joćo,
Welcome to the forum

Thank you for sharing the nice photos of your streams. For this type of water I think I would choose our Barrio Smallstream WF3F, or possibly our Mallard DT3F.

Which lines are your current favourites for fishing your streams?

Best wishes
Mike

Now that looks a lovely place to fish, proper small stream fishing. Thank you for putting up the photos.

[Marc Fauvet]

without a doubt the Smallstream 3wt. you'll LOVE it !

I'm using Rio mainstream 3WF, a nice line but its showing some rock bites. I normally fish with 10ft of line out of the tip, and some times only the leader if I'm nymphing...in some rare times I must cast for the 30ft mark.

Hi Joćo,

Yes, the Barrio Smallstream WF3F would be my choice then, see http://www.flylineshop.com/barrio-smallstream-fly-line.html

But when you "only have the leader out of the tip" ...... the line will not make much difference of course

Best wishes
