Product information "Elite Gold Fly Line"
The Premium Fly Line for Modern Trout Fishing
The RIO Elite Gold represents the highest-performing version of RIO's legendary Gold taper. Designed for anglers who demand maximum casting control, sensitivity and versatility, it combines the proven Gold taper with RIO's most advanced fly line technologies.
Whether fishing dry flies, nymphs or small streamers, the Elite Gold delivers outstanding performance on rivers and stillwaters alike. Its versatile taper loads modern fly rods quickly at short distances while maintaining exceptional loop stability and accuracy on longer casts.
Versatile Performance in Every Situation
The refined front taper presents delicate dry flies with precision while carrying larger dry flies, indicator nymph rigs and small streamers with ease.
Its medium long front taper provides excellent line control for accurate casting, effortless mending and natural drag-free drifts.
Elite Technology for Maximum Performance
The Elite Gold incorporates RIO's most advanced fly line technologies.
SlickCast delivers one of the slickest and most coatings available, reducing friction for effortless distance and long-lasting performance. ConnectCore Plus dramatically reduces stretch, providing exceptional sensitivity, faster hook sets and direct contact with the fly.
MaxFloat Tip keeps the front section floating higher for easier mending and improved drift control. The exclusive SureFire three-colour measuring system clearly identifies the optimal loading point during casting, while EasyID provides instant line identification. Welded loops at both ends allow fast leader changes.

Product development like that won't happen all by itself – that level of commitment is going to require thousands more hours on the water – but somebody's got to do it, and that somebody is RIO. No matter what line family, price level or quality RIO fly line you choose, you can fish happy in the knowledge that every single fly line is made in our Idaho Falls facility – close to the banks of our premium testing grounds, the Henry’s Fork and the South Fork of the Snake in Idaho. Fly line manufacturing is a complicated business requiring incredibly sophisticated machinery.
RIO spends thousands of hours on the water researching, designing & refining products.
