The RIO Elite Gold is the standard weight, standard power all around trout taper that has been catching fish since 2008. It is the perfect dry fly line for medium to long casts, delicate deliveries and precise mends. Anglers who primarily dry fly fish that switch to reasonably sized dry droppers and indicator rigs, in the same day, will love this line. This line the longest head in RIO’s Gold Series of lines at 47 feet. The long head alongside a long back taper allows line control at distance and tight loops at any distance. The front loaded body allows the line to load the road and turnover during close casts while carrying long lengths of line. The mid-length front taper allows for versatility in presentation size; it can turn over heavy rigs on short casts with short leaders and small flies on long leaders at great distance. When people think of a standard weight forward fly line;, they often think of the RIO Gold taper. This line is great for tailwaters, spring creeks and freestone rivers of varying sizes. It is also a great dry fly line for lakes. RIO Gold may have caught the most trout out of any line ever made, want to catch another?
