Arizona Posts: 3	Howdy folks, I bought some fly rods and reels a few years ago from a sportsman warehouse going out of business, now I need line for my reels. I mostly fish for trout and grayling here in AZ. I assume I ought to have a floating line if I'm dry fly fishing?

Yes, if you are going to dry fly fish you always want to use a floating line. You can also fish wet flies, nymphs, and streamers with a floating line by either adding weight to the fly when it is tied or adding split shot to the leader. If you plan to fish streamers and nymphs often you might want to consider a sink tip fly line.
