RIO Premier Creek Fly Line
Designed for anglers fishing small creeks and streams with a taper design that loads at close range, with ultra-slick performance
RIO’s Creek line has been designed for anglers that fish small creeks and streams. The line loads at close range, allowing anglers to make short casts of 10 to 15 feet with ease, yet has enough body and head length for those occasions when a longer cast is needed. Each line is built on a supple coldwater core for tangle-free performance, and features SlickCast—the slickest, most durable coating on the market. 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.

Great for small stream fishing. The short cast performance is excellent, and the line floats well on the surface. I use it for nymphing and dries with no tangles even in heavy rain.
Melanie Carr –
The line loads smoothly and casts well in tight spaces. MaxFloat tip helps it stay on top of the water, which is a big plus when targeting small fish.

I’ve used this line for several weeks in different streams. It’s very supple and doesn’t tangle easily. The SlickCast coating feels smooth and performs consistently.
