There are a huge number of fly fishing lines out there, but for the most part they will fall into four categories:
- Floating
- Sink Tip
- Sinking
- Intermediate
Each line is used for different situations, floating lines float on the water and have a monofilament leader attached to the end of it which has your flies attached to it. "Flies," where it is legal to fish more than one fly. When dry fly fishing, a floating line is almost always used, and the leader is "greased" and the fly will often have a floatation chemical rubbed into it to keep it floating. However, even when using floating lines, one can still use flies that are fished below the surface.
A sinking line completely sinks in the water, it has a higher density and is used for what is commonly referred to as wet lining.

How many methods of fly fishing are there?
Fly fishing for trout is a very popular sport which can be done using any of the various methods and any of the general types of fly. Many of the techniques and presentations of fly fishing were first developed in fishing for trout. Fly fishing can be done in fresh or salt water. Freshwater fishing is often divided into coldwater (trout, salmon, steelhead), coolwater (pike, perch, walleye) and warmwater (bass, chub, catfish) fishing. The techniques for freshwater fly fishing also differ in lakes, streams and rivers. Dropping the fly onto the water and its subsequent movement on or beneath the surface is one of fly fishing's most difficult aspects; the angler is attempting to cast in such a way that the line lands smoothly on the water and the fly appears as natural as possible.
