Product information "Premier Creek"
The Ultimate Fly Line for Small Streams
The 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 Range
Unlike 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 Technology
RIO'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. Welded loops at both ends provide fast and reliable rigging.

Max Float Tip
Tired of floating lines that work like Sink Tips? 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 Cast
MaxCast 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.
AgentX
Traditionally, 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 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.

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.

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.
