Trout Spey CTS Affinity DQ 11.6 #3-4

Looking for suggestions about fly lines (scandi and skagit) to pair with my CTS Trout Spey. Anyone fishing with this rod and feel they have well paired it with lines, would appreciate your suggestions.

There is a big difference in scadi and skagit heads, both in length and grainage. I would suggest getting with Bob at R. B. Meiser Fly Shop in Oregon, he developed his and their lines in collaboration and carries lines developed for them at his shop.

If it helps, I have that blank in 11-3 2/3wt, I’m using a Rio Trout Spey 215 grain head. The grain window on my rod is 185 to 240.
