RIO Gold Fly Line
Line Weight: Standard Weight / Standard Power
Primary Use: Small Dry / Dry-Dropper
Secondary Use: Big Dry / Light Indicator
RIO Gold is one of the most proven all-around floating trout lines ever made. Its longer head and slightly lighter feel compared to RIO’s XP and MAX tapers make it exceptionally smooth, stable, and precise—especially when carrying line, mending at distance, and fishing dry flies with intent.
Designed for anglers who prioritize presentation but still need versatility, RIO Gold excels at delicate dry-fly work, dry-dropper rigs, and light indicator setups. The mid-length front taper allows flies to land softly without sacrificing control, while the long back taper provides excellent line management on rivers and lakes that demand medium to long casts.
With a 47-foot head (WF5F) and balanced taper profile, RIO Gold loads rods easily at close range yet maintains stability and accuracy when carrying longer lengths of line.
