All lines are made in our workshop situated in a tranquil countryside setting. The pleasure of this environment and the use of the finest natural products helps to produce the finest fly lines for one of the most pleasant and relaxing ways of fishing.
“Work is love made visible” — Kahil Gilbran
We are pleased to continue making lines in the same way as for 100 years for today’s fly-fishermen and women who value the finest in tradition and performance.
Phoenix Silk Lines are available to buy online through our sister website, Phoenix Classics.
The special ‘proofing’ of the braid gives no ‘reel’ memory and only minimum stretch to aid better hooking.
The oils and varnishes ensure that the line is waterproof and supple. The Phoenix Line is so stable so that it does not leach linseed oil and become tacky with age.
The special finish produces a line that shoots well, with the minimum of flash and maximises the added advantage of silk, which gives a smaller diameter for a given weight.
A 33 yard line in natural straw colour. A 6 foot taper, 11 yards of head and 22 yards of shooting line. The line comes complete with care instructions and a tin of Red Mucilin.
