Zonker,
What kind of clear intermediate do you use? I like the efficiency of my Mastery Stillwater Line but I do not enjoy using it in cold weather. It seems to have a definite "memory" problem. Is there a clear fly line that does not suffer from memory? There was a review in a British Flyfishing and flytying magazine a few years ago that stated that none of the more than 8 or 9 lines tested suffered from coiling and memory problems. (Based on personal experience, I find this hard to believe!) I have only used the Stillwater but a friend of mine tested another clear line from a Canadian manufacturer and we have found both lines difficult to handle in cold weather. Anyone else have any insight on this?
