Rio Premier Gold Fly Line

STANDARD WEIGHT / STANDARD POWER

Primary: Small Dry / Dry Dropper
Secondary: Big Dry / Light Indicator

RIO GOLD’s longer head and lighter weight, compared to its XP and MAX counterparts, make it our best all-around trout taper for carrying long, precise casts. At standard weight with a mid-length 5-foot 6-inch front taper (WF5F) for soft presentations, RIO GOLD delivers flies with delicacy and finesse, making it perfect for anglers who rig with dry-fly intent then switch to droppers and light indicators as conditions change. With a 47-foot head (WF5F) and long back taper, it’s the right choice for rivers and lakes that require medium to long casts and distance mends.

A Classic Refined.

The Rio Premier Gold WF Fly Line is built for anglers who demand precision, power, and smooth performance in every cast. Designed with a long head and front-loaded taper, it delivers excellent loop stability and presentation—whether you’re casting size 8 hoppers or delicate #20 dries.

This line excels in medium to long distances, making it ideal for technical trout fishing, larger western rivers, and spring creeks where control matters.

Features RIO's SlickCast coating for ultra-low friction and MaxFloat Tip for added buoyancy that won't sink after hours on the water.


🎯 Why We Like It:

  • Smooth, powerful turnover without feeling bulky

  • Long head allows for easy mending and precision control

  • Perfect for anglers who like longer, more deliberate casts

  • Performs across a wide range of rod actions—especially moderate to fast


🛠️ Tech Specs:

  • Taper: Weight Forward

  • Coating: RIO SlickCast

  • Tip: MaxFloat Technology

  • Welded loops: Front and back


🧠 Pro Tip:

Use this line on a 9' 5wt or 6wt when fishing dry-dropper rigs, single dries, or light nymph setups. It’s especially effective when you're casting across complex currents or need long, accurate drifts.

Description

The RIO Gold is the ultimate all round, floating line for the trout fly fisher.

The RIO Gold has been the go-to trout line around the world for many years, and for a multitude of fly fishers. The line has a long head and back taper that give casters total line control and stability at range - whether casting or mending. The unique profile is designed to load a fly rod at close range, and has a front taper that delivers perfect presentation of flies between sizes #22 and #2.

We have enhanced the performance of this wonderful trout line by building it with SlickCast - RIO's proprietary coating technology. SlickCast creates the slickest, most durable 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.
