What Line weight (AFTM) means: The AFTM line weight (#1 to #15) tells you how heavy the fly line is. Rod, reel and line should share the same weight. Rule of thumb: #3–#5 for trout and grayling, #6–#7 for sea trout and streamers, #8–#10 for pike, salmon and saltwater.
What Length (ft) means: Length in feet (ft) and inches ("). 1 ft = 30.5 cm, so a 9'0" rod is 2.74 m long. 9 ft is the all-rounder; shorter rods suit small streams, longer ones long casts and nymphing.
What Line taper means: How the weight is distributed along the line. WF (weight forward): weight up front, the all-rounder. DT (double taper): tapered at both ends for delicate presentation. ST/shooting head: short heavy head for long casts. Scandi and Skagit: shooting heads for double-handed and switch rods.
What Density means: How the line behaves in the water. F = floating, H = hover (sinks very slowly), I = intermediate (sinks slowly), S1 to S8 = sinking: the higher the number, the faster (roughly inches per second). ST = sink tip, only the tip sinks. Several values (e.g. F/I/S3) mean a set or a line with sections of different density.
What Weight (grains) means: Weight of the shooting head in grains (1 grain = 0.065 g). More precise than the line weight for double-handed lines and shooting heads. Check the grain recommendation of your rod.
What Hook size (#) means: The higher the number, the smaller the hook: #18 is tiny, #4 is large. From 1/0 ("one aught") it reverses, 4/0 is larger than 1/0. Typical: dry flies #14–#20, nymphs #10–#16, streamers #2–#8, pike 1/0–4/0.
Manufacturer Navigation
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.

Ambassador Blitz Fly Line
DELIVER BIG FLIES QUICKLY TO POWERFUL, FAST-MOVING FISH WITH WIND-CUTTING EFFICIENCY AND MINIMAL FALSE CASTSThe Blitz line’s short, 26-foot head enables the fastest possible delivery and easy shooting. An extended handling section behind the head allows the angler to carry more line for greater accuracy on long cast and easier pickups for second shots. The idea was inspired by chasing albies in the mid- Atlantic, but the Blitz line will be right at home in any fishery where speed counts in order to get a fly in front of fast-moving, feeding fish.- Unique 26-foot short head taper keeps false casts to a minimum- Extended handling section for greater accuracy on long casts and easier pickups on second shots- Multi-Density Control maintains a straight line connection to fly" Blitzes are brief surface feeding chaos and the RIO Blitz Line is like using the drive through window at a fast food joint. The short, heavy head loads the rod quickly, so the fly gets delivered with minimal false casting and an improved thicker running line makes retrieving and recasting a dream. The Blitz Line is not some one trick pony. It can deliver big nasty flies into tight cover or reachout with long probing casts. This taper and running line setup is also good for beginning casters, because the rod loads easily with less false casting."- Brian Horsley / RIO Ambassador

Juicy Hopper (grey) (6 pcs)
From July to first frost, a good hopper pattern is an absolute must in your box if you fish for trout. RIO's Juicy Hopper has many key design features that make it an excellent summer pattern; the heavy curved hook lowers the center of gravity and help it land (and sit) correctly, the leg color matches the body just like the real insect, and the body markings and properly placed antennae give excellent elements of life and realism. There is enough foam to float a dropper pattern if you desire. Content: 6 pcs

King Bay Anchovy (Tan) (6 pcs)
Bay anchovies, sometimes called “rain bait” or glass minnows, are EVERYWHERE in saltwater. They inhabit bays and estuaries and migrate along beaches from late summer through fall. Stripers, blues, and Albies love them, often to the exclusion of larger baits. Because of their sheer numbers, fish get very picky about the size, profile, color, and movement of imitations, so matching the hatch is key. The Bay Anchovy, based on the Hoo Fly platform, has the exact shape, color and translucence of the real deal and is responsible for many days of epic Albie and striper fishing. And because so many baits in tropical locations feature a similar profile and coloration, the Bay Anchovy a killer pattern for back bay tarpon sipping little minnows and roosterfish and skipjacks keyed in on smaller sardinas and herring. It’s got a long track record of success and is one of the best small baitfish flies we’ve ever used! Content: 6 pcs

Each size has been meticulously tuned for two criteria. First, a unique series of steps in the taper concentrates weight at the back of the head, putting more weight in the D loop and making it easy to load the rod. Second, the front taper and tip diameters of each head have been selected to turn over delicately for the most graceful presentations. Whether fishing a tapered nylon leader or a slightly heavier VersiLeader, the Scandi Launch delivers flies quietly and efficiently. Fishing “fine and far off” has been the aspiration of two-handed anglers for decades and the Scandi Launch makes it more fun than ever. A shooting line is required to make this head fishable.

King Splitsville Spinner (rust) (6 pcs)
A spinner is almost never the wrong choice on any trout stream. Some spinners are almost always in the drift, and their spent, helpless posture seems to work as well on garbage feeders as on picky hatch-seekers. But the problem with most spinner patterns is that they don’t capture the wide fanned out wings of the natural, and they are hard to see, particularly during the evenings when most spinners fall. The Splitsville Spinner solves both problems. Its unique construction fans the wings out widely from their base, just like the naturals, and the barred hackle splitting those wings provides incredible buoyancy and visibility and a wonderful, broken profile. Countless big trout – including some two-footers – have confidently tipped up on the Splitsville when other patterns were shunned. Content: 6 Stück
King Squirrely Muddler (olive yellow) (3 pcs)
Big, nasty streamers in muddy water are a blast, but day-in and day-out, smaller, more realistic and precisely-tied patterns are way more consistent, particularly in standard, clear water conditions. The Squirrely Muddler is a downsized version of the popular saltwater Kinky Muddler, and has claimed countless large trout – browns, rainbows, cutts, and brookies measured in pounds, not inches. Its rounded Kinky Muddler head, bulging eyes, and wide collar create a little vortex that animates the squirrel zonker body into a kicking, wiggling motion. Because it is so mobile and looks so much like a little fish, it works its magic whether stripped, swung or even dead-drifted, and it’s a devastating trout spey fly as well. Content: 3 pcs
