RIO on RIO Fly Lines
For more than 20 years, RIO has demonstrated passion, innovation and a
pure love for the fly fishing sport through its development of the
industry's highest performance fly lines. And the great news is, we at
RIO will continue to research, design and refine our fly fishing

In 1990, Jim and Kitty Vincent founded RIO in the mountains of Idaho on

pride in the promise to give you the absolute best of fly fishing on
your rod.
