Technically, yes, you can use a normal (freshwater) fly line in saltwater, but don’t expect the same results. Saltwater fly lines are developed and designed to handle the density of saltwater and its corrosive power. 

Saltwater fly line is different from freshwater fly line in sink rate, taper, color, and material. Saltwater lines must have a faster sink rate to get through the denser water. Saltwater lines also have a longer front taper to accommodate greater depths, and they’re designed from materials to withstand the corrosive effects of salt exposure. Saltwater fly lines are different colors than freshwater fly lines in order to blend with tropical or deep sea water tones.
