Rio's Fruit Strip is a new school take on a classic- the leech. The jigged head gives this fly that realistic, leech-like movement. Strip it, swing it, or throw it on a nymph rig.
Most anglers know how effective the classic hare's ear nymph is. RIO's HE Man is a variation of this classic, tied on a barbless jig hook and with a tungsten bead for weight in either matte black (with a hot spot of thread) or a gold bead version.
Rio's baby dad is like no other crayfish pattern you have seen. Though these can be fished all year round, this fly is especially productive in the late fall and winter, where hatches are minimal.
Probably the best baitfish pattern in the world, and equally effective for any fish in fresh or saltwater that likes to eat smaller fish. This fly uses lead dumbbell eyes to get depth, and help with the jigging action that makes this fly so deadly.
Tippet Rings are small, very strong and lightweight, and make rigging and tippet replacement fast and easy. A leader with a tippet ring turns over perfectly, and they are light enough to use when fishing dry flies.
RIO Powerflex Tippet is a high knot strength copolymer nylon tippet that features superb knot strength, stretch and suppleness to make this the finest nylon tippet for almost all trout fly fishing needs.
For every few fish that want a baitfish, there's always one that wants a surface bug. The RIO's Gurgler Alarm is the ideal "do everything" pattern for that fish.
