RIO Mainstream Trout Fly Line

The RIO Mainstream Trout Fly Line is the definitive choice for the novice and average fly fisher. Designed to be a cost-efficient, high-performance, one-line solution, this line is engineered to optimise rod performance with a slightly heavier and shorter head. It's the perfect line to help you succeed on the water, offering a blend of easy casting, excellent turnover, and durability in a range of densities.

The Mainstream line is built with a slightly heavier weight and a shorter head length. This design helps to load the rod quickly and efficiently, making it incredibly easy to cast and perfect for new anglers. The added weight and short taper ensure a good presentation and powerful turnover of a wide range of flies.

Floating lines in the Mainstream series feature a supple, self-lubricating coating that remains memory-free in cold water. This ensures your line stays flexible and straight, preventing frustrating coiling and tangles that can ruin a cast in chilly conditions.

While many RIO products focus on technical challenges, the Mainstream line is a high-performance fly line that is designed to meet the overall needs of most fly fishers. It's made in the RIO production facility in Idaho and undergoes the same rigorous production processes and quality control standards as all RIO fly lines, giving you an affordable option without compromising on quality.

The line is available in a range of densities (floating, sinking, etc.), or you can purchase a set, ensuring you have the right line in your bag to succeed on the day. The short, powerful front taper delivers good presentation and turnover in a multitude of situations.

Floating versions of the line come with a neat, bulletproof Front Welded Loop, which allows for fast and easy rigging to your leader.
