i just bought a Cortland 10' 4wt to try nymphing

 which model line would you suggest for my local small river...Small Stream or Mallard....?
this is typical


also may use a Herbert Hatton split cane 7'7'' for overgrown locations
needs casting,  but 'appears' to be a 4/5wt

thanks...john

Mike - is a SS better than a Mallard for Czech nymphing? Something I have not done before.
Cheers Terry

Fly line isn't really needed for Czech nymphing. Have a look through YouTube and this will make sense.

Hi Terry,

I agree with Liam .......... both lines would serve you equally well.

Ah, yes. Twiddle and plop    
I'll experiment on the river Dove in March or even earlier for Grayling.  I'll start with the nearest combo I have = 10' #5 rod and Mallard #5F or even #6F

Thanks again guys.
