control any situation that may arise, enter the Rio Steelhead and

Leland on Freshwater Lines
The varied habitats of freshwater fish (and
especially the trout's) require a wide range of line designs for
effective fishing. Luckily for the modern angler, engineers at Rio,
Sage, and Scientific Anglers have thought up a line for every possible
freshwater situation. Whether the line is tapered for distance (Expert
Distance, RIO Gold), general purpose (GPX, Trout, Rio Gold, Sage
Performance II), delicate presentation (XPS, Sage Quiet Double Taper
II), technique specific (Nymph, Stillwater, Rio DC Sinking lines), or
otherwise, these lines deliver high performance for every outing. These
new lines employ a soft braided multifilament core for low memory, easy
mends and line handling as well as PVC coatings, enhanced super slick
processing which allows the line to slip effortlessly through the
guides, maximizing control and accuracy. With developments like these,
putting the fly in front of the fish has never been easier.

Rio on Rio Steelhead and Atlantic Salmon Fly Fishing Line
"Steelhead & Atlantic Salmon Fly Line Tapered weight forward floating design
made for the specific casting demands of steelhead and Atlantic salmon
fly fishing-also a fantastic nymphing line with a strike indicator. The
long belly and back taper were developed for roll or overhead casting
and single-handed spey casting. A bullet front taper helps deliver
bombers and other large flies. This line works well with a greaseline
or waking fly technique. RIO's state-of-the-art computer-driven fly
line technology allows us to taper the rear belly with slightly more
diameter. This creates weight in order to load the rod butt for casting
performance and durability in this critical area. Coldwater coating on
a multifilament core.
New for 2007 RIO has
added a welded loop to the front end for easy rigging. Use this loop to
attach RIO's Powerflex Core Sinking Leaders and instantly turn your
line into a sink tip."
