RIO Gold Elite Floating Fly Line

The classic RIO Elite Gold Fly Line is a multipurpose masterpiece and the definitive choice for the angler who needs a single line to excel in every situation. This line is widely regarded as the best all-around trout taper for both rivers and lakes, meticulously designed for carrying long lengths of line, making precise casts, and delivering flies with unmatched delicacy and finesse.

The Elite Gold’s taper is what sets it apart as the ultimate multipurpose line. With a long 47-foot head (in a WF5F) and a long back taper, this line is your go-to for situations that require medium to long casts and precise mends. The long rear taper improves line control for those long-distance casts, both in the air and on the water when mending. A mid-length front taper provides a perfect balance, allowing you to turn over heavier rigs on shorter leaders with power or deliver tiny dry flies on long leaders with finesse. This versatility makes it ideal for anglers who rig with dry fly intent and then adapt to droppers and light indicators as conditions change.

Built on RIO's revolutionary ConnectCore Plus, this line offers an incredible level of sensitivity. The low-stretch core provides enhanced detection of takes and a faster reaction time for setting the hook, while giving you far greater control when playing a fish.

This line is built with SlickCast, RIO's proprietary coating technology. Lab tests have shown that lines built with SlickCast have the least amount of friction ever measured, resulting in exceptionally smooth casts and extended durability.

The Elite RIO Gold’s taper design gives incredible loop stability at a distance and a front taper that delivers a perfect presentation of flies in a wide range of sizes, from #2 to #22.

The line comes with a durable welded loop on both the front and back, allowing for fast and secure rigging to your leader and backing.

The RIO Elite Gold Fly Line is available in a range of line weights to choose from in our drop down menu and comes in a Moss/Gold/Grey colouration.
