Rio Euro Nymph FIPS Line
RIO’s updated Euro Nymph line has been thoroughly vetted and approved by FIPS Mouche as “Competition Legal”. A system of special marks on the line has been endorsed and approved by FIPS Mouche, ensuring that competitive anglers do not have to waste valuable fishing time by having their line checked during competition hours.
The Euro Nymph line was designed by Steve Parrot to satisfy the need for a one fits all European style nymphing line that is competition legal. The line is built on a thin diameter, low stretch, supple core to maximize sensitivity and allow for lightning fast hook sets, while a highly visible tip helps anglers detect the slightest of strikes.
This line is designed specifically for European style nymphing techniques, such as “French”, “Czech”, and “Polish”.

I’ve used this line for several European nymphing sessions and it’s noticeably more sensitive than standard lines. The visible tip helps me detect even the lightest strikes. It’s perfect for French and Czech techniques and passes FIPS checks without issue.

The low stretch and thin diameter make it ideal for quick hook sets. I appreciate the special markings that save time during competitions. Works well in both still and moving water.

Great sensitivity and reliable performance. The tip is easy to see under light conditions. Slightly more expensive than regular lines, but worth it for competitive use.

Used it in a recent Czech nymphing event and it passed the FIPS inspection immediately. The line feels smooth and responds quickly to strikes. Highly recommended for serious anglers.
