EVOLUTION OF A LEGEND
RIO Gold fly lines first took flight in 2008 – brought to life on the unmerciful testing grounds of Idaho’s hard-earned Henry’s Fork River. Hundreds of thousands of casts across endless miles of water later, the Gold Standard of multipurpose fly lines transformed the game by giving anglers the ability to transcend boundaries.
The newly minted lines in RIO’s expanded Gold lineup run on a similar guiding principle: That the perfect multipurpose fly line empowers you to do more in the places you fish most. And because no region, water-type or fly box is the same, Gold Series now includes three distinct line classes – XP, MAX and Classic Gold –each driven by intentional designs and thoughtful payload-distributions that play to the go-to applications that define your everyday experiences on the water.




WHAT'S YOUR GOLD?

GOLD CLASSIC
STANDARD WEIGHT / STANDARD POWER
Primary: Small Dry / Dry Dropper
Secondary: Big Dry / Light Indicator
The ultimate multipurpose line for anglers with a dry-fly focus, but a readiness to adapt to subsurface pursuits as conditions change.

GOLD XP
½ SIZE HEAVY / EXTRA POWER
Primary: Dry Dropper / Light Indicator
Secondary: Small Dry / Big Dry / Light Streamer
Designed for the angler who fishes subsurface flies just until the hatch pops, then turns to drys to stay on top.

GOLD MAX
REAR LOADED / FULL SIZE HEAVY
Primary: Heavy Indicator / Big Dry
Secondary: Streamer / Dry Dropper / Light Indicator
Made for anglers with more tungsten, feathers, foam, and heavyweight rigs in their boxes than CDC, parachutes, long leaders, and size 22s.
