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, 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 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.

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.
