Target wary trout feeding near the surface with the Scientific Anglers SONAR Stillwater Hover Fly Line. Engineered specifically for the technical demands of lake and reservoir fishing, this specialized line features an ultra-slow, 0.5 inches-per-second (ips) sink rate that keeps flies suspended just beneath the surface film—ideal for calm conditions, shallow water, and pressured fish.

Built with Scientific Anglers' proprietary AST Plus slickness additive, the Hover line provides maximum shooting distance, reduced friction through guide rings, and exceptional long-term durability. Overweighted by two line sizes to easily turn over long leaders, heavy nymphs, or multi-fly tandem rigs, it also features textured tactile hang markers at 10 feet and 20 feet from the tip so you always know when to hang your flies or prepare for the lift.

Key Features & Benefits:

  • Ultra-Slow Hover Sink Rate (0.5 ips): Keeps flies fishing just below the surface to break the film without plunging too deep in shallow or calm waters.

  • AST Plus Slickness Technology: Delivers superior shooting ability, lower casting friction, and extended line life.

  • Overweighted Line Profile: Built two line weights heavy to load modern fly rods quickly and turn over heavy rigs, long leaders, and multiple flies.

  • Tactile Hang Markers: Features textured reference points at 10' and 20' from the tip to help gauge retrieve distance and execute effective hangs.

  • Subtle Stealth Colorway: Designed with a low-visibility finish to prevent spooking fish in clear, stillwater environments.
