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.

Kahuna Lt Strike Indicator Pack
RIO’S KAHUNA LT is an ingenious and subtle strike indicator made of a piece of high floating fly line with the core removed from the middle, leaving an empty tunnel. Simply break off the required length of indicator and thread the leader though the tunnel. Each packet contains a simple wire threader to make this easier. The end result is an incredibly sensitive strike indicator that grips on to a tapered leader and stays in place without any damage to the leader. Each packet contains 3, 1ft length of Kahuna LT in Chartreuse, Orange and White. Use a waterproof marker to color the white indicator to any color you like. RIO recommends the "thin" indicator for calm water and smaller flies, while the thicker one will be more easily visible in rougher water and lower light.

Soft, subtle takes become positive grabs, and without stretch to dull reaction times, hook sets are instant and sure. ConnectCore - The secret weapon for stillwater success. AgentX Traditionally, getting a fly line to float has required mixing tiny glass balls (called microspheres) into the line’s coating. After years of experimentation RIO has 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 highest floating fly lines imaginable. 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 generation 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. Density Compensated (only "S6") RIO’s Density Compensation adds a more dense material to the thin tip, which ensures the line sinking straight. Welded Loops RIO 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.

Premier Perception Fly Line
Premier Perception Fly LineThe RIO PERCEPTION is an easy casting, general purpose fly line that casts nymphs, dry flies, streamers and soft hackles with ease. The short head makes this a particularly good line on smaller rivers and lakes when long distance line control is not necessary. This line is built with SlickCast, RIO's proprietary coating technology, which creates the slickest, most fly lines on the market. Lab tests show that lines built with SlickCast have the least amount of friction ever measured in a fly line. In addition, the line features MaxFloat Tip Technology, RIO's proprietary tip coating formula that 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.

RIO Elite Bonefish Fly Line RIO’s Elite Bonefish line has a long head and back taper to smooth out the loop, and to make long efficient casts, while the mid length front taper produces great turnover and easy presentation of typical bonefish flies. Each line is built on RIO’s low-memory DirectCore that is extremely easy to anneal (stretch) and lies perfectly straight on the water, yet retains the stiffness needed to cast in hot conditions. In addition, this line is built with SlickCast, creating the slickest, most coating on the market—producing the least amount of friction ever measured in a fly line. The Bahamian colorway has its first color change at 30ft. Other lines with Surefire change at 20ft. The core strength of this line is as follows: WF6 - WF7 = 30lb (13.6kg) WF8 - WF9 = 45lb (20.4kg) Features SureFire RIO’s triple color line marking system that makes it easy to gauge distances and load, with a quick glance. EasyID RIO’s printed line marking system that allows anglers to quickly and easily identify each line. 8" Front Welded Loop A neat, bulletproof loop welded at the front of the fly line for fast Spey-specific rigging. Back Welded Loop A neat, bulletproof loop welded at the end of the fly line for fast rigging to backing. Technologies DirectCore DirectCore is RIO’s low-stretch core used in tropical lines. DirectCore stretches 30% less than other tropical cores, is exceptionally easy to pull coils out of, and lies exceptionally straight on the water.

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.
