The giant Salmonflies of the Western mountains are legendary for their proclivity to elicit consistent dry-fly action and ferocious strikes.
SA manufactured Orvis fly lines for many years. This past year, Orvis purchased the Scientific Angler Company from their parent company 3M. Orvis continues to manufacture all the SA brand lines and all other FFing products offered by SA, along with their own Orvis brand lines. HTH.

If this is correct, it somehow slipped by me...Do you know if they are still building them in Midland, MI or has everything gone offshore? I'll have to look this up.
Thanks!
I used to use Cortland lines, my wifes father's side of the family is from up that way, but have been using more SA and the Rio lines mentioned...I have to agree with Eric and Tony in that different lines on different rods for different situations makes sense. If you find the right combo, don't get too used to it since the marketing boys are always playing around with it.
The Rio Gold WF on my 3wt Scott is so nice, a couple years back during Tricos, I almost forgot about my new Winston 4wt B3x! :)

Still made in Midland by Orvis. SA line and products still remain separate from Orvis products. Nothing has really changed except Orvis, a FFing Company owns SA rather than 3M, a huge international company that sells many products other than FFing worldwide.
