Leland on Scientific Anglers Fly Fishing Products
Scientific Anglers Fly Fishing Products was founded in 1945 by fellow
anglers Leon Martuch, Clare Harris, and Paul Rottiers in Midland,
Michigan. They developed the first modern, plastic coated fly line in
1952, replacing silk fly lines which had been in use for well over 100
years. In 1954, Scientific Anglers Fly Fishing Products introduced the
Air Cel, widely considered the first modern floating fly lines.
Scientific Anglers' development of 3M Microballoons in 1959
revolutionized the way that fly lines float and is the standard
technology by which all manufacturers float their lines today. 3M, then
known as the Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company, acquired
Scientific Anglers Fly Fishing Products in 1973.
Scientific Anglers wrote the book on early modern fly line development,
with research and development resources way beyond the means of other
major fly line makers that we usually see on the shelves.

When Scientific Anglers™ Mastery Series introduces a new fly line, you
can be sure it is the finest performing fly line for its application.
The Scientific Anglers Floating Fly Lines all have significant
advantages over anything else on the fly fishing market. At 3M
Scientific Anglers™ Fly Fishing Products, we have an ongoing challenge
to our scientists and taper designers, and that is to set a new standard
in performance for every fly line that carries the Scientific Anglers
name. It is not an easy undertaking and it requires much trial and error
and extensive testing – not only on the water but also in laboratories.
Fortunately at Scientific Anglers, we have unparalleled resources and
the finest fly fishing minds in the business dedicated to building
better fly lines. The list of Scientific Anglers Fly Fishing Products'
advancements is unmatched and we're only getting started. We hope you'll
join us on the water so that you can see – firsthand – that there is
much, much more to fly fishing than just the scenery.
