The Scientific Anglers Stillwater Hover Sonar is the ultimate weapon for fine fishing in lakes and reservoirs.
It allows you to move your flies close to the surface film, where trout are actively feeding, without revealing their presence on the surface.
A real pleasure to cast and to knit more or less quickly in a "figure of eight".
My personal choice as a professional fly fishing guide in lakes and reservoirs.
One day, long ago, in a kingdom far, far away, we dreamed up a line that would sink, but not sink too much, one that would simply hover beneath the surface. Fast forward thousands of years and the SONAR Stillwater Hover sinking fly line was born. Built with an extra-slow sink rate, the Hover is downright nasty when it comes to fishing streamers with a slow retrieve. It’s a legend, at least in our own minds.
