All Snowbee fly lines are designed and manufactured in the UK and are recognised
by top professionals as world class lines and the best British fly lines ever made.
The development of fly lines has improved considerably in recent years. By using
a computer controlled production system we are able to incorporate minute changes
to fly line profiles to meet the very precise demands of today's modern fly fishers.
Add to this the Snowbee 'high performance' coating process and you have a fly line
with the 'slickest', 'lowest-

Our aim in developing the ED line was simple....to produce a line which could genuinely and regularly be cast 35 to 40 yards by experienced anglers.
To reach the holy grail it was clear we had to re-
The Extreme Distance was rated ‘Best in Test’ by Trout Fisherman magazine, in comparison to all other recognised distance lines on the world market. Yet another Snowbee line joins the Portfolio of pedigree lines. 2007 sees us extend the Extreme Distance range, with the addition of a new #5 weight floating line, for the light line specialist.
For delicate, precision casting, the XS Delicate Presentation line excels, but has not yet been afforded the testing category to recognise the outstanding performance of this line…it will!

Originally designed for ‘Thistle Down’ presentation on the river, this line has yet to receive the public recognition that it has been returning in professional circles. If anybody thought that rivers were the limit with this line they would be mistaken. The Continuous Rear Taper (CRT) profile has surprised many when demonstrating and on still waters where dry fly casting using the #5 and #6WT versions with the lightest of tackle, has proved effortless and delightful.

More new lines for 2007…………
For a few years now, Snowbee have led the way in Spey fly lines and the revolutionary 3D balanced system helped pioneer the way forward. With this enormous success and growing reputation, we continue to listen and respond to customer requests and we have introduced further advances to help the Double handed Spey Angler through 2007 and beyond.

New Sinking 3D lines
We have developed two new sinking Spey lines in the 3D format. Firstly an Intermediate, medium sinking fly line, plus a considerably faster sinking line the Fast Sink, for the bigger, heavier conditions and genuine depth presentation.

New ‘4D’ (84 ft head) Spey line
As if the above were not enough, we have been requested to extend the whole 3D range
of lines yet further and are working on a new 4D line, featuring an 84 foot head!

The amount of line exposed to the rear of the caster is also of paramount importance.
During the concluding moments of a Single & Double Spey or Snake Roll, a 'D' loop
is formed alongside and to the rear of the caster. Optimal 'rod loading' is achieved
when the 'D' loop is at maximum stretch and the fly line 'Head' and rear taper are
almost completely outside of the tip ring. If executed using a perfectly balanced
line, this 'intentional hinging' of the rear taper not only improves the potential
for narrowing the loop in the forward cast but it also increases both line speed
and distance….we call this the 'Optimum Rod-
