Just wondering what fly line everybody is using. Also how much does the fly line quality effect the distance of the cast?

[Hamish Young]

Lot depends on which line you mean.... I'm guessing you mean floating line for single handed use

A barrio dt for everything at the moment.

[Ben Dixon]

Barrio Mallard WF3Fsmall river / light stuff
Barrio Mallard WF4F general river
Orvis Wonderline G3 Power Taper WF5F River in a wind / with big flies
Barrio WF6F for teaching general trout casting
Lee Wulff Nymph Taper WF5F & WF6F for stillwater / loch fishing
Rio iLine 13g Single handed salmon with smaller flies
Barrio DT10 salmon line cut as a shooting head for single handed salmon with bigger stuff / stripping.

Distance stuff on grass I am using either the Rio Tournament, Barrio Outcast or SA MED

In my armoury (in floating....):

Single handed lines -
WF 4 Rio Grand
WF5 Barrio Mallard
WF5 Lee Wulff
WF6 Barrio Mallard
WF7 Loop Opti
WF8 Barrio Mallard
Custom 15g shooting head from Barrio DT Salmon line
oh, and an Orvis WF 'tips' line.

Double handed floating lines -
Snowbee 2D
Rio AFS shooting head
Orvis Spey
CND Specialist

And so it goes on 
Does the quality of line effect the distance of the cast It can, some lines aren't all that great, but the quality of the casting done by the angler seems more significant to me

would fully agree with H on this a good caster can make any rod /line combo fly

for the mix I'm using
3wt barrio mallard( an original batch one at that )
5wt barrio mallard
7wt wulff tropical TT I
7wt rio redfish floater
9wt rio tropical II
9wt rio outbound tropical floater
12wt Rio tropical clouser

I would rate the rio tropical II as the best in the heat out here
but it would likely be way to stiff back home.
Looking forward to using the finished outcast when I get back in july

Who is this Barrio chap and why are his lines so popular?

[ColinC]

I tried a barrio mallard line today when at haddo earlier today and surprised that it made casting easier and that  I could tell the difference between that line and one I recently purchased of another forum (me being a cheepo ), I guess that it is true "try before you buy".  What are your opinions on the outcast compared to the mallard for short and long casting?

[paavo]

I haven´t more than 3 lines that I use.
Barrio Mallard WF6F
SA Air Cel DT4F
Scierra HMT Taper WF5F

In the beginning of June I was looking at Barrio Mallard WF5F, unfortunately it was sold out at that time.
I found a cheap flyline at John Norris of Penrith. I ordered it 2: nd of June and my mailbox is still empty.
Oh yes, I´ve been in contact, the answer is, have patience.
I´m not impressed of the service,  so to say.
