The Cortland Compact Intermediate is a specialty weight-forward fly line built for stealth and versatility across fresh and saltwater. Featuring a clear intermediate sinking head paired with a floating running line, this is not a full floating line — it’s designed to fish just below the surface while maintaining easy line control and pickup. The compact 26ft head loads modern rods quickly and shoots effortlessly with minimal false casts.

• Aggressive Front Taper – 3ft front taper turns over large, air-resistant flies in heavy wind
