Ultimate Precision for Technical Trout Fishing
Specifically designed fly line for delicate presentations of small flies to technical feeders at range, with lowstretch, ultra-slick performance.
The RIO Elite Technical Trout is built for anglers who demand the highest level of accuracy, line control and delicate fly presentation. Its extended head and long front taper deliver effortless presentations of small dry flies, emergers, soft hackles and light nymphs, even at long casting distances.
Designed for selective trout and grayling, this line excels whenever precision and natural drifts make the difference.
Outstanding Control at Long Range
The long head and extended rear taper provide exceptional loop stability and superior line control. Long casts, roll casts, reach casts and accurate mends become easier and more consistent.
Built on RIO's ultra low-stretch ConnectCore Plus, the line delivers outstanding sensitivity and direct contact for faster hook sets and improved strike detection.
Elite Performance Technologies
The Elite Technical Trout combines RIO's most advanced fly line technologies.
SlickCast creates one of the slickest and most durable fly line coatings available, reducing friction for longer casts and improved durability. ConnectCore Plus dramatically reduces stretch, increasing casting precision and sensitivity.
MaxFloat Tip keeps the front of the line floating higher for easier mending and superior drift control. The exclusive SureFire three-colour measuring system helps identify the optimal casting position, while EasyID makes line identification quick and simple. Welded loops at both ends provide fast leader changes.

Backing 20 lbs (chartreuse) 100 yds
There are times when a fluorescent coloured backing is a great advantage. It is essential, especially when fighting very large species, to be able to track the path of a running fish. A coloured fluorescent backing helps you to do this.This is not only true for saltwater fly fishing, it also applies to Salmon, Pike, Steelhead and large Trout. A new production process has allowed us to produce a backing that, even when loaded tightly onto the spool, doesn‘t cut into the backing beneath it forming a weak spot. Fly rodders have praised good backing on many occasions, after all, on the day of the big catch a weak backing is the last thing you need!

Premier Creek
The Ultimate Fly Line for Small StreamsThe RIO Premier Creek has been specifically designed for anglers fishing small streams, mountain creeks and tight, overgrown trout waters. Its unique taper loads the rod with just a few feet of fly line beyond the rod tip, making accurate casts effortless where back cast space is limited.Whether you're fishing dry flies, small nymphs or soft hackles, the Premier Creek delivers precise presentations at short and medium distances.Fast Loading at Close RangeUnlike traditional weight forward lines, the Premier Creek excels when fishing between approximately 10 and 30 feet. At the same time, the taper retains enough body to make longer casts whenever more space becomes available.Its supple coldwater core minimizes memory and keeps the line handling smoothly in cold conditions.Premium RIO TechnologyRIO's SlickCast coating creates an exceptionally slick, durable surface for effortless casting and long-lasting performance. MaxFloat Tip Technology keeps the front section floating higher on the water for easier mending and improved drift control.DualTone technology marks the ideal loading point of the head, while EasyID makes line identification quick and simple.

Fact is, the reduced coating at the narrow, tapered end of most floating lines doesn’t have enough buoyancy to stay above water. RIO’s MaxFloat Tips solves this age-old problem. Our all-new, proprietary tip coating formula floats more than twice as high as regular line tips, without any increase in diameter. That puts maximum floatation right where you need it for reduced drag, longer presentations and quieter pickups. Max CastMaxCast is a ultra-sophisticated line coating, made with a groundbreaking proprietary formula. It redefines floating line performance. MaxCast lines float higher, shoot farther, last longer and stay cleaner. AgentXTraditionally, getting a fly line to float has required mixing tiny glass balls (called microspheres) into the lines coating. After years of experimentation RIO have developed a unique element which is six times more buoyant than those used by other fly line manufacturers. This process is called „Fusion Technology”. By simultaneously processing this super-buoyant undercoating with an ultra-smooth outer coating the results are the smoothest, most durable and highest floating fly lines imaginable. Welded LoopsRIO pioneered / originated the innovative welded loop technique. Welded loop fly line tips float better and enable a rapid change of leader. Almost all RIO fly lines are supplied with these small welded loops, please see the appropriate line diagram for information.

Missing Link Sally
The Missing Link: Your Indispensable Dry FlyAn exceptionally versatile and effective dry fly that no fly box should be without. If we could only take one fly to the water, over 90% of the time, we'd choose a Missing Link.This incredibly successful dry fly, developed by Mike Mercer, has become a "secret weapon" among many fly fishers. Originally designed to imitate an emerging or dying caddisfly, it has proven capable of mimicking a wide range of insect stages. The Missing Link is more than just a dry fly – it's a true group pattern for mayflies and caddisflies!Its outstanding effectiveness comes from its ingenious imitation of various insect stages within these crucial groups. The wings of the Missing Link are positioned to mimic the wings of dying insects resting on or just below the water's surface. This helps the fly float upright and entices even the most selective fish. The unique profile gives fish the impression of a safe and attractive meal.The Missing Link is the ideal choice when you're looking for a reliable dry fly that coaxes fish to strike in diverse situations and even under challenging conditions.

Euro Nymph Shorty
RIO’S EURO NYMPH SHORTY is an ultra-thin, super-sensitive fly line designed for Euro nymphing. The line is deliberately made short (20 feet) so it can be added to the front end of a regular fly line utilizing the thin welded loop on each end. The idea is that anglers can fish their normal fly fishing style with their regular trout line, and when they come to a run they want to fish Euro nymph style, they simply loop the Shorty on and start nymphing. Quick, easy and no need for an extra rod or reel.
FIPS Euro Nymph orange / sage / olive (#2-5)
The Euro Nymph line was designed to satisfy the need for a one size fits all European style nymphing line that is competition legal. The line is built on a thin diameter, low stretch, supple core to maximize sensitivity and allow for lightning fast hook sets, while a highly visible tip helps anglers detect the slightest of strikes. This line is designed specifically for European style nymphing techniques, such as „French“, „Czech“, „Polish“ and „Spanish“ styles. Line: one size fits all rods #2 - 5Length: 24,4 meterColor: orange / sage / olive Technologys XS (Extreme Slickness)The RIO test laboratories carried out extensive practical experiments and material combinations, until they discovered the secret behind the XS Technology. The result is a ge-neration of fly lines with a slicker surface. On the water this leads to longer and more accurate casts, less abrasion, less dirt attraction and an overall better performance. ;Welded LoopsRIO pioneered / originated the innovative welded loop technique. Welded loop fly line tips float better and enable a rapid change of leader. Almost all RIO fly lines are supplied with these small welded loops, please see the appropriate line diagram for information.
