Default Line Advice Needed

Firstly, warm greetings from the very icy (at present) Czech Republic.

I'm looking to buy a 2 or 3 weight floating line, not too bothered about the cost as much as it being memory free and in a non too garish colour. Thanks in advance for any advice

Try the Snowbee DP: Snowbee Delicate Presentation Fly Lines

Lovely lines, subtle colour.

Cheers,

Have a look at the Barrio line, which comes in olive I believe.

The Snowbee is also a good line as suggested.

Sorry I can't help further, my camo floaters won't be ready for another two weeks.

Hadn't considered a silk, but the snowbee seems to fit the bill. Thanks all

I use the Barrio referred to above and also Cortland Sylk lines although my lightest line is now a #4.

Both superb lines for river work but if cost is an issue the Barrio is half the price of the Cortland and IMO just as good.

Look at the Barrio here:
