Abstract
A fly fishing line with a plurality of spaced apart bands along a section of the line visible to an angler. The bands and the spacing between the bands is such that they can be discerned in use by the angler. The bands do not interfere with casting of the line or with a leader attached to the line but can be watched by the angler to see when the line stops drifting or changes direction, indicating a fish strike, the bands and the spacing between the bands serving as a strike indicator.
