Friday morning I have receive fly line Mallard DT3 and Sunday I have try it on my favourite small river near to my home. I have only one word "Fabulous", the best that I have tried and not less important a beautiful colour.
Thank you very much and bye.

Hi Mike, I tried out, in less than favourable conditions, the DT5 line and furled leader I bought from you a few weeks ago and boy am I impressed. The leader turned over a size 12 Klinkhamer beautifully even in windy conditions and the line was as good if not better than the Cortland lines I normally use. So impressed am I that I've just ordered two more leaders. When I need replacement lines I know where to come.

I bought floating and clear intermediate lines early in the season, used them continuously since. I fish 3/4 times a week and can't fault either line. Until now I have always used snowbee xs for floating line work, your is line is comparable, floats well, little memory, shoots really well and has shown no sign of wear so far. I have used it for dry and nymph fishing. The intermediate has proved to be a good workhorse 'pulling' line. I cant recommend the lines enough . For the money they are EXCELLENT!

I bought one of Mike's lines last week , today is the first chance to have a days fishing with it. What a line, its an absolute joy to fish with. It is supple, has a very slick feel , shoots through the rings with a pleasing whoosh , no memory at all and despite my very average casting lands very gently on the water. The turnover is superb, I was fishing a WF7F with a 7# Sharpes Gordon. I cant give you anything very technical or the physics , but its just a pleasure to fish with. If there's a better line at this price or any other price I'll eat my hat!

I have been using Scientific Anglers and Cortland Lines previously, but from the first outing with your lines, I have been amazed - supple, high floating, slick, great control and presentation - all the qualities these 'premium' lines offered and just didn't deliver. It really is a great product, even before you take the price into consideration.
Thanks very much and I really can't praise your products highly enough.

I've used Cortland fly lines over the past few years, I find the Mallard is a better line, it casts like a dream and doesn't tangle when it's at my feet between casts ………………. I've converted a good few pals to them too.

I bought one of these to replace a much more expensive Airflow 40+ that had decided to become a spring when left on a reel for a month or so. The Barrio Mallard was recommended to me and I in turn recommend it to you. It casts at least as well as a Cortland 444 but costs less than half the price. Having bought the 6 weight I will soon be buying the other weights I use too - outstanding value!

I bought a Barrio 5wt floating line because I was curious about the claims I had read in various internet forums about how good Barrio lines are. I normally fish a Cortland 444SL Precision or a Scientific Anglers Ultra 4, with the edge to the Cortland 444SL Precision.
Yesterday I took the Barrio on a trip to a Derbyshire chalkstream, partnering the Barrio with my favourite Gatti FRHP 865-3TA dry fly rod. I had the fishing session of a lifetime, the weather was not kind and usually the fish aren't kind either, but the line was a joy to use and I landed 12 trout.
So, the reviews were true, this is a very special line, beautifully supple (the Cortland and SA feel stiff in comparison), and it allows me to cast with great presentation and accuracy. I recommend the line without reservation.
