20 Years of
Innovative Products
In 1990, Jim Vincent founded
RIO
in the mountains of Idaho on the idea that
exceptional fly fishing products should be built
by anglers for anglers. Twenty years later,
we’re still in Idaho and driven by that same
ethos.
Most of us here are your basic passionate fly
fishing bums, looking for any excuse to get on
the water as much as we can. Often, that means
tinkering with tapers, coatings and cores to
bring you the very best lines on the market.
This year, we’ve enjoyed getting out on our home
waters and testing our two newest lines: the
Trout LT (Light Touch) and the new Indicator
Line. We think you’ll find these two new lines
to be among our best yet and must-haves in the
arsenal of the serious trout angler.

Trout LT
New for 2010 • Delicate Presentations
DualTone™
RIO’s latest trout fly line has been designed for the ultimate in performance
for traditional trout fly fishing techniques. A long, delicate front taper
ensures the softest of presentations, making the line perfect for fishing dry
flies, soft hackles, emergers, small nymphs and chironomids, while an extended
body gives the line stability at range and makes mending and roll casting easy.
The weight distribution helps load a fly rod when fishing at short range or on
smaller rivers and creeks, though it is manufactured precisely to the AFTMA
standard and is ideal for all but the fastest of fly rods.

Skagit Flight Head
New for 2010
The new Skagit Flight Shooting Head is the very
ultimate design in Skagit lines for maximum
flight time, effortless casting strokes and the
tightest and sweetest of loops. Based on the
extraordinarily successful AFS head, the line
features a back end that loads rods deeply and
easily and a long, subtle front taper that
ensures the energy flows smoothly to the tip,
generating gorgeous loops and long, long flight
times and distance. The front end has a thick
tip that packs a big punch and easily lifts out
heavy tips and large flies with supreme ease.

Saltwater Line
The all-purpose saltwater
line for bonefish, redfish, stripers or snook
with a taper design that will turn over big
flies into any wind. This line is made on a
braided multifilament core for suppleness and
has a hard AgentX saltwater coating that ensures
the running line floats and RIO’s XS Technology
for the slickest of finishes and ultimate in
distance casts. Ideal for fishing in normal and
early season conditions, it includes welded
loops on both ends for easy rigging. The light
coral color is incredibly easy to see in all
light conditions.
