Leland on the Rio Hover Fly Line
When wind creates surface chop on stillwaters, floating lines do not provide you a sensitive connection to your swimming bug. The Rio Hover Fly Line presents a solution to this problem, and will give you an edge on hard-fished stillwater fisheries by dropping out of the surface film to provide direct connection to leader and fly. Whether you enjoy fishing chironomids, streamers, or swimming nymphs, the Rio Hover Fly Line belongs in your lake fly fishing kit.
