RIO TROUT VERSILEADER 7FT- RIO's Trout VersiLeaders are designed for the fly fisher who needs a quick-change option for converting a floating line to a sink tip.
RIO LINE CLEANING TOWLETTE- Quickly clean your fly line and enhance its performance with this handy, single-use cloth. The Fly Line Cleaning Towelette works best on floating fly lines as it wipes away loose dirt.
Designed with lead eyes to jig along the bottom, the RIO's Muffin Top is a perfect all around warmwater bass fly and flood tide redfish fly. It has also proven as an effective fly in the California Delta for smallmouth and Puget Sound for saltwater perch.
Ants can be a wonderful fly to search with, especially when you don't know what may be hatching, or what exactly the fish are eating. This parachute version catches a lot of fish, and is easy to see with its white post.
This is a great drake pattern that gives you a large profile without a large hook, and tied with an extended abdomen. The parachute post allows the fly to sit lower on the water's surface.
This fly is tied on a barbless jig hook and has a mottled tungsten bead to look as natural as possible, with black wing pads offer a striking contrast to the body color. This has proven to be one of the most effective caddis pupa patterns.
Searching for the universal shrimp imitation that both triggerfish and bonefish will eat readily, we ended up with this pattern that really fits the bill. With subtle flash and a muted, more natural tail, it is the perfect fly to not spook finicky fish.
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.
Designed initially for those on the east coast of Florida, this surface popping shrimp was a custom fly that turned into a much sought production pattern.
Rio's Marabou Toad is designed specifically for throwing at resting or "laid up" tarpon. The combination of materials give the fly a slower sink rate which helps keep the fly in front of the fish longer, enticing the grab.
We recommend using it as a dropper behind a good floating mayfly pattern
