Rio Euro Nymph Shorty
Rio’s Euro Nymph Shorty is an ultra-thin, super-sensitive fly line designed for Euro nymphing. The line is deliberately made short (20 feet) so it can be added to the front end of a regular fly line utilizing the thin welded loop on each end. The idea is that anglers can fish their normal fly fishing style with their regular trout line, and when they come to a run they want to fish Euro nymph style, they simply loop the Shorty on and start nymphing. Quick, easy and no need for an extra rod or reel.

I use this shorty when fishing in riffles and runs. It attaches quickly to my main line and gives a much more natural presentation. The sensitivity is excellent and I can feel even the slightest bites. Very handy for switching between dry fly and nymphing styles.

Works well with my existing setup. The loop is easy to attach and the line doesn’t snag. I appreciate the compact size and the ability to switch to nymphing without changing gear.

Perfect for when I need to fish a run without switching rods. The floating density helps with casting accuracy and the line feels smooth in the water. I’ve used it on several trout streams and it performs consistently.
