Description
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.

Leah Bell –
This line casts smoothly and holds its shape well. The SlickCast coating makes it feel much more responsive than older models. I’ve used it on both still waters and streams with good results, especially for small flies between #22 and #2.
Rebecca Underwood –
Great improvement over the classic RIO Gold. The low visibility helps with stealth, and the front taper gives excellent fly presentation. I’ve been using it for several weeks and it still feels fresh and strong.
Frank Oliver –
Solid performance for trout fishing. The casting feel is smooth, and the line doesn’t tangle easily. A bit more expensive than basic lines, but worth it for the quality and consistency.
