Overview
SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED FOR THE DEMANDS OF THE STEELHEAD AND SALMON FLY FISHER
RIO's Elite Salmon/Steelhead line has been specifically designed to meet the demands of the modern single-hand steelhead and salmon fly angler. The long head and rear taper allow anglers to mend and control the fly at great distance when fishing the swing. A powerful bullet front taper ensures the line easily handles large steelhead and salmon flies, while the rear weight distribution makes this a great line for single handed roll and spey casting. The line is built with ConnectCore Plus and SlickCast Technology for low-stretch, ultra-slick performance.
Overall rating: 5.0 / 5 from 10 reviews.

Excellent line for steelhead
"I purchased the Salmon /steelhead line to replace my worn out my Rio Elite Indicator line. The salmon/steelhead line performed excellent in cold water conditions while still nymphing with an indicator."
— Kevin B. (5/5)
