- Orvis Fly Line - Ohio Game FishingThe Hy float line isn't great by no means, but it's much better than all of their wonderline labels. Overall, I've never owned an Orvis line that I was happy with. I'm a big fan of a lot of Orvis' stuff but their lines have never been one of them. I've found them to have horrible memory, very low durability, and quick to crack.
