Overview
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.

casting. A guide at the Driftless Angler fly shop helped me sort this out and recommended Rio Elie Gold XP. I tried it as a test and it worked beautifully. Its accuracy at 25 feet and less distances was nothing short of amazing. It turned my 4 wt Winston Pure 2 into an incredibly accurate sniper rod. My quest was aided by a great accuracy video by Rio’s Simon Gawesworth. I’ll continue Rio Gold for midrange situations Rio Technical Trout for long range casting with my 4 wt rods.
