Cortland Line

For over 100 years, Cortland Line has been designing and manufacturing the world’s most innovative fly lines and braided fishing lines. With passion and experience, we remain focused on one thing: fishing. Fishing has been, and always will be, what drives us to develop the most advanced lines offered today. Located in Cortland, NY – all of our pro shop lines are made in the USA with the latest in line technology – many technologies that Cortland itself pioneered for the industry. Now, we are launching a new chapter in our storied history. We are applying some 100+ years of fish-catching prowess to the perfection of modern technologies with a sole purpose — to help you feel the pull of a fish. Gone are the silk and linen lines of our early years. They’ve been replaced by PVC, nylon and Dacron. Yet what remains — stronger than ever — is our passion for fishing and our zeal for innovation. What was essentially a fly fishing company, starting with fly lines and growing on the strength of our reputation to offer a broad mix of fly fishing equipment, is today a company focused on making line for every conceivable type of fishing; fly, sport ... you name it. Cortland is the preeminent fishing line company — researching, developing, manufacturing our products here in Cortland, New York, and testing them in various locales under a variety of conditions. Now under new leadership, we offer up this passion, experience and technology with a fresh perspective. In the coming months look for us to deploy recycled fibers, advanced engineered tapers, and 21st century plastics. Look for us to continue upgrading our manufacturing facilities and lead the industry in quality control. And look to us to improve on product performance, and on dealer and customer service. Spool up Cortland. Hit the water. And feel the pull.
