Rio Fathom Sinking Fly Line
Rio’s Fathom Lines are designed specifically for lake anglers. Each line features a short, quick-loading head that minimizes false casts and enables fast, easy casting. The color contrast between the head and the running line makes it easy to see the loading point. A built-in hang marker helps anglers determine when to stop stripping and when to begin fishing the ‘hang’. The line includes RIO’s Density Compensation technology for complete fly control (except type 7). The core is supple and built to prevent tangling.

The quick-loading head makes casting much easier in the lake. I can see the loading point clearly, which helps with accuracy. The hang marker is very useful when adjusting depth. No tangling issues even after long use.

Great for lake fishing. The depth control is solid and the line feels smooth in the hand. I noticed the color contrast helps me see where the line is loading, which improves my casting consistency.

I’ve used this line for several weeks now and it’s performed reliably. The hang marker saved me from overstripping during a windy day. The core stays flexible and doesn’t tangle even in heavy use.
