Basics of modern fly lines
The most common characteristic of a fly line is the line class. For trout fishing you usually need line classes from # 2 to # 6. In our opinion you should stay with the recommended fly line classes of the specific fly rod. We do not suggest to fish SAGE rods with one higher line class than the actual line class of the rod.
Line class # 2 is mainly made for very delicate trout fishing in little streams and when you expect smaller to medium sized fish.
Line classes # 4 and #5 are by far the most fished fly rods and fly lines for trout and grayling. If you plan to chase big trout on large waters then you should choose line class #6 for perfect casting and fishing.
Nowsdays most of the fished fly lines are weight forward (WF) lines. You will find this abbreviation on most of the modern fly lines. e.g. WF-5-F means: weight forward, line class 5, F= floating. The following explained fly lines are all weight forward trout lines.
With a weight forward fly line you have a certain taper or profile of the line. Most of the weight is positioned in the front part of the line. This part enables you to cast further distances. But the different profiles of the lines give different casting and fishing abilities and different usages. After the front head of the line you will find the so called running line. It is a thin coated line behind the head of the fly line.
Modern fly lines can be distinguished with the following features. These features define the abilities how to cast and to fish with this fly line:
- Line class: fromt #2 til #6 can be used for trout fishing in Europe
- Taper (profile): is it a weight forward (WF) line or is it a double tapered (DT) line?
- Core: What type of core does the fly line have? Braided of mono core?
Standard fly line cores have a stretch of 15 to 20% in length. Modern low stretch cores like RIOs ConnectCorePlus have a low stretch of 6%. - Sinking Rates: F=floating, slow sinking (I=intermediate), sinking (S3= sinks 3 inch pro per second approx. 7,5 cm/s)
- Coating: SlickCast is the latest and best coating RIO can offer. It the most durable and slickest coating they ever developed.
- Loop connections: does the line feature little loops on the ends? This makes is very easy to change leaders etc.
- Colours: How many colours does the fly line have?
- Laser-Easy-ID: RIO fly lines usually have the laser id printed onto the front part of the fly line. It show the type, class etc.
- Max Float Tip: some of the most sold trout fly lines feature a "max float tip". eg. RIO Gold. There you will find approx. 60 cm of the tip which feels a little rough. A special material is applied onto the tip of the fly line to have a perfect floating tip.

Elite Gold XP
With a mid-length head and half-size heavy design, GOLD XP is the most versatile taper in the GOLD lineup. The added “extra power” relative to classic GOLD gives it the flexibility to excel across the widest variety of techniques and casting lengths, offering truly blended performance. Thanks to its medium-long rear taper and a balanced body for improved turnover of indicators and nymphs, GOLD XP is at home sending drys at distance, running heavier rigs though deeper pools and making quick shots from drift boats. GOLD XP is still perfectly capable of delivering precise, delicate presentations, while its added weight makes the line fish and cast comfortably at shorter distances, typical of wading on smaller waters. Choose GOLD XP for Extra Power + Extra Versatility. Mid-length head and half-size heavy weight balances the ability to carry line against quickly loading the rod for shorter casts Medium-long rear taper maintains line control for longer presentations, both in the air as well as on the water while mending Balanced body with ample power at the front to turn over the widest range of rigs, plus enough rear power to load rods more deeply for short- to mid-length shots Mid-length front taper for increased versatility: Capable of turning over heavier rigs on shorter leaders powerfully or tiny dry flies on long leaders with finesse Color: Moss/Electric Green/Gray Line Sink Rate Colour 30 ft Head Weight Total Head Weigth Head Length Total Length 3er / WF-3-F floating Moss/Electric Green/Gray 110 gr (7,1 g) 148 gr (9,6 g) 40 ft (12,2 m) 80 ft (24,4 m) 4er / WF-4-F floating Moss/Electric Green/Gray 130 gr (8,4 g) 173 gr (11,2 g) 41 ft (12,5 m) 90 ft (27,4 m) 5er / WF-5-F floating Moss/Electric Green/Gray 150 gr (9,7 g) 200 gr (12,9 g) 42 ft (12,8 m) 90 ft (27,4 m) 6er / WF-6-F floating Moss/Electric Green/Gray 173 gr (11,2 g) 235 gr (15,2 g) 43 ft (13.1 m) 90 ft (27,4 m) 7er / WF-7-F floating Moss/Electric Green/Gray 198 gr (12,8 g) 272 gr (17,6 g) 44 ft (13,4 m) 100 ft (30,5 m) 8er / WF-8-F floating Moss/Electric Green/Gray 225 gr (14,6 g) 304 gr (19,7 g) 45 ft (13,7 m) 100 ft (30,5 m)

RIO Specialty Trout Fly Lines
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.
ELITE Single Handed Spey
The perfect Line for Roll and Single Handed Spey Casts with low-stretch, Ultra-slick performance. The Single Handed Spey line has been designed to be a fantastic tool for anglers that prefer/need to perform roll and single-handed Spey casts. The rear weight distribution loads a rod deeply in the tightest of quarters, allowing anglers to make long, effortless casts with obstacles close behind. Though primarily designed for roll casting, this line also performs exceptionally easy overhead casts with incredibly smooth loop control. Each line is built on RIO's low stretch ConnectCore Plus for maximum performance, and features SlickCast— the slickest, most durable coating on the market. There are 2 different density lines to cover every fishing situation:-A Full Floating line (F), for top water action-A Floating Line with 10ft of Hover sinking line, then 10ft Intermediate sinking line at the front (F/H/I), for fishing in the top 2-4 ft.

Elite Gold XP
With a mid-length head and half-size heavy design, GOLD XP is the most versatile taper in the GOLD lineup. The added “extra power” relative to classic GOLD gives it the flexibility to excel across the widest variety of techniques and casting lengths, offering truly blended performance.
