Abstract
Abstract The fly fishing line of the invention is a flexible fly fishing line having a section of said line near the end tip with a greater buoyancy than the remainder of said line, such section having a surface of a highly visible material, and said section and said surface material being integral with the fly fishing line.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
47 words
A fly fishing line having a section of said line near the end tip with a greater buoyancy than the remainder of said line, said section having a surface of a highly visible material, said section and said surface material being integral with said fly fishing line.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
47 words
A fly fishing line having a section of said line near the end tip with a greater buoyancy than the remainder of said line, said section having a surface of a highly visible material, said section and said surface material being integral with said fly fishing line.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
46 words

Claim 4
Dependent Claim
46 words
A fly fishing line having a section of said line near the end tip with a specific gravity lower than the remainder of said line, said section being made with a highly visible material, said section and said material being integral with said fly fishing line.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
59 words
A flexible, stretchable fly fishing line having a specific gravity below approximately 1.15 and having a relatively smooth outer surface, comprising: a substantially cylindrical core having a smooth plastic coating thereon, said plastic coating containing a large number of hollow preformed microspheroids, and said fly fishing line having a more buoyant section of said line near the end tip.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
59 words
A flexible, stretchable fly fishing line having a specific gravity below approximately 1.15 and having a relatively smooth outer surface, comprising: a substantially cylindrical core having a smooth plastic coating thereon, said plastic coating containing a large number of hollow preformed microspheroids, and said fly fishing line having a more buoyant section of said line near the end tip.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
66 words
A flexible, stretchable fly fishing line having a specific gravity of approximately 1.15 and having a relatively smooth outer surface comprising: a substantially cylindrical core having a smooth plastic coating thereon, said plastic coating containing a large number of hollow preformed microspheroids, said fly fishing line having section of lower density near the end tip, said lower density section having a highly visible fluorescent material therein.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
66 words
A flexible, stretchable fly fishing line having a specific gravity of approximately 1.15 and having a relatively smooth outer surface comprising: a substantially cylindrical core having a smooth plastic coating thereon, said plastic coating containing a large number of hollow preformed microspheroids, said fly fishing line having section of lower density near the end tip, said lower density section having a highly visible fluorescent material therein.
