The Scientific Anglers Stillwater Intermediate Fly Line is a full intermediate lake line with a steady 1.7 ips sink rate. It keeps flies slightly below the surface with a moderate, consistent descent. It is the Stillwater line for control and versatility just under the top layer.
Controlled, Moderate Descent – The whole line sinks at 1.7 ips. You can count flies down to a depth and retrieve them there with the line straight to the fly.
Nymphs and Streamers – SA lists nymph and streamer fishing for trout as this line’s use. It covers the water from just under the surface down through the upper layer.
SA rates the Stillwater series for cold to moderate fresh water. It is a lake and pond line for trout.
The Stillwater Intermediate is a weight-forward line with a 45′ head and a 100′ total length. SA overweights it by two line weights to carry multiple flies and long leaders and to make longer casts. The first 30′ of the 5-weight weighs 185gr, the weight of a standard 7-weight. It comes in 5 through 8 weight.
Intermediate Density – The line sinks at a steady 1.7 ips.
Textured Hang Markers – Textured markers sit 10′ and 20′ from the tip. You can feel them on the retrieve and hold the flies in the hang before you lift.
AST Plus – SA mixes its AST Plus slickness additive into the coating. The slicker surface shoots farther and holds up longer than a standard coating.
SA Line ID – The line is printed with “SA STLLWTR WF X INT” (X is the line weight). You can tell spools apart at a glance.
Welded Loops – Welded loops make leader and backing connections quick.
