RiVeR tRout
RIO InTouch Perception
£69.99
RIO In Touch Trout LT
£59.99
RIO ENL
£49.99
If you choose only one trout line, this is the
one. The ultimate all-rounder, its shorter
head is highly manoeuvrable and will present
flies of all sizes with finesse. It's made with
MaxCast and low-stretch ConnectCore, which
is more sensitive to takes and helps improve
the timing of your casts. Colours: camo/tan/
grey or green/camo/tan. sizes: WF3-WF8.
LT means Light Touch and this floating line's
slim, long front taper will help you to achieve
the lightest-possible presentation of dryflies.
It's easy to roll cast and its supple taper
means you will get less surface drag. It's
made with low-stretch ConnectCore, which
will help you to mend line and set hooks.
Colour: beige/grey/sage. sizes: WF3-WF6.
ENL means Euro Nymph Line and this
highly specialist line is made solely for
Czech- and French-style nymphing. It has a
very small diameter, a low-stretch core and
high-visibility tip for maximum sensitivity
to detect takes and set hooks, with
competition fishing in mind.
Colour: orange tip/moss. one size: 2wt-5wt.

RIO InTouch Gold
£69.99
RIO InTouch Midge Tip
Long £59.99
RIO InTouch CamoLux
£59.99
The ideal floating line for bigger stillwaters.
The Gold's delicate front taper will enable
you to cover trout close in and yet its longer
head means you can extend more line beyond
the rod tip for stable long-distance casts.
Made with Maxcast and ConnectCore to help
you lift line quickly and cover moving fish.
Colour: moss/grey/gold. sizes: WF4-WF8.
The ideal fly-line for nymph/buzzer-fishing
and for exploring the top 2ft of the water
column, perhaps with a traditional wet-fly
cast. The 6ft intermediate clear-camo tip
digs into the water and prevents surface
drag in stronger winds. The highly sensitive
ConnectCore will detect the subtlest takes.
Colour: camo tip/melon. sizes: WF5-WF8.
This intermediate line has a short 30ft head
and casts like a rocket. It's a great option
for fishing high in the water with reservoir
methods such as the washing-line or hanging
wet-flies on the Irish loughs (it has a hang
marker 13ft from the tip). Sinks at 1.5-2 ips.
Made with low-stretch ConnectCore.
Colour: clear camo. sizes: WF6-WF8.

RIO Scandi VersiTip
£99.99
RIO AFS Outbound
£74.99
RIO ShortHead Spey
£74.99
All the line you need to fish for salmon all
season. Made for rods 13ft and longer, the
VersiTip has a floating easy-to-cast short
head and four 15ft tips (F, I, S3 and S6). Use
the floating set-up with coated leaders in
summer lows, then sink tips in deep water.
With neat loops and printed ID. Weights:
7wt/29g, 8wt/33g, 9wt/38g, 10wt/42g, 11wt/45g.
The most user-friendly and versatile full
floating line. It is made in one piece but
performs like a shooting head. It's ideal for
casting in tight spaces and its long front
taper will present flies delicately. Just add a
coated leader to control your fly's depth.
Head weights: 8wt/460gr, 9wt/520gr,
10wt/580gr, 11wt/640gr.
A floating speyline with an easily cast belly
(10wt belly is 48ft) and delicate front taper.
Ideal for anglers who enjoy casting with a
slightly longer stroke. Great for summer
fishing and presenting smaller flies. Its
longer belly will help you control fly speed in
slower currents. Belly weights: 7wt/470gr,
8wt/520gr, 9wt/580gr, 10wt/650gr, 11wt/730gr.
