Since the creation of Rio's Precious Metal, it has proven to be worthy in every fishery it's been tested in - from the Missouri River to the Arkansas - and it keeps producing fish.

This is an excellent tarpon fly, and particularly good for laid up poons that have seen a few flies.

RIO's Dread Pirate is no myth, but a deadly tarpon fly with eyes are made from RIO's Kahuna LT strike indicator - allowing this fly to sink horizontally.

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.

The Mighty Midge came about with the need for a fly that had a realistic profile and size but also had a small pop of color.

The Two Bit Hooker is a staple pattern on any nymph rig.

The inspiration for the Micro Matcher came after a tough day fishing on one of Colorado’s tailwaters. I had noticed a lot of Baetis in the water and couldn’t find the right size and profile I was looking for in my fly box.
