Gear Care Simplified

Taking care of your gear is a key part of fly fishing, and in a recent video, the other Tom—Tom Rosenbauer of Orvis fame—showed a simple way to clean and store fly line. No need to strip it all off the reel or use some elaborate setup. Just clean it while it’s still on the reel and store it as is.


We’ve come a long way from the days of silk lines, which required careful drying and treatment after every use. Modern fly lines are low-maintenance, but a quick cleaning keeps them performing their best. A little care now means smoother casts and longer-lasting gear down the road.
