In this video Peter McLeod reviews the Elite Rio Technical Trout fly line with the new slick cast coating. The line features a long, fine front taper for the lightest of presentations and delicacy and is the ideal choice of line when fishing dry flies, nymphs, soft hackles and emergers to tricky eaters at distance. The line has a long head and back taper to increase loop control when carrying long lengths, and for making precise casts to rising fish, while the weight distribution makes it easy to turn over long leaders for technical feeders at range. The low stretch core provides incredible levels of sensitivity when casting and fishing. Peter takes to the river and puts it through its paces.

Thanks for the review! I'm in the process of upgrading my dry fly short to medium distance trout outfit and this line is on the short list. I have been watching your videos for a while and trust your judgment way more than most. Again, thanks!

Hey Peter Thank you very much for the answer,i yust never tried the low strech line,but i think i will manage it.Because i was in dilema betwen S/A Trout smooth and the new Rio Tehnical Trout.This time I give a chance to Rio,(maybe your video helped),because in the past I used the Rio Gold-and it is a very good line-but not the best for longer casts.. Stay safe Kind regards Vanč

I'm going to get a #6 to use on my #7 Demon for a more delicate approach for summer dry fly on Stillwaters. I think I should still get a decent cast on my #7 rod.

Line looks great. I can hear the smoothness through the rings. I'd be interested to see how it performs after some heavy use. Incidentally..... how are you attaching your net on your back?
@AardvarkMcLeodFlyFishing
@AardvarkMcLeodFlyFishing 3 года назад
I have to say it is noticeably smooth and I too am eager to see its durability. For the net I am using the Fishpond Switchback which has a slot in the belt for my net... so convenient and comfortable...

Hi, have you tried the DT versions of this line? I have been using DT for 30+ years and the rods I currently use are all a bit slower action with deeper flex. I just talked to the rod designer and he indicated that he prefers DT lines in this rod (4wt primarily for dry fly fishing), so I don't want to go to a WF line and lose some of the qualities that he designed into the rod.

@AardvarkMcLeodFlyFishing

Absolutely... the longer belly is perfect for the faster actions of the Zenith and Zephrus...

@AardvarkMcLeodFlyFishing
@AardvarkMcLeodFlyFishing 3 года назад
Glad it was helpful, I am afraid can’t compare to the Sci Anglers AST as I have not used one. The Perception has a shorter head that loads faster and is better for close in river work where longer casts are not needed...

@peterdavies4273
@peterdavies4273 3 года назад
Hi Peter. . Just used this line for the first time yesterday, and everything you say about the slick coating and core is spot on, I’ve matched the line with a #4 weight Orvis Helios mid action rod for distance and lift works perfectly, I tend to use quite long leaders 12’ with 4’ tippet, the line doesn’t really turn the leader over that good? Feels like over gunning the Rod with #5 line would turn the leader better, particularly when targeting fish in tight areas, under trees on the far bank etc, Or do I go with a shorter leader? First impressions really good, but that leader turn over has me worried 🎣🎣👍👍
@AardvarkMcLeodFlyFishing
@AardvarkMcLeodFlyFishing 3 года назад
Hi Peter, thanks for the comment, I can’t say I have had the same issue, but I am not using 16’ leaders as we get much closer to the fish in the Chalkstreams. Maybe try and shorter leader and see if it makes a difference?
@peterdavies4273
@peterdavies4273 3 года назад
Yes, going down to a 10’ furled leader and tippet set up, think that might do the trick. 👍
@TheSavagederek
@TheSavagederek 3 года назад
Why are you double tippeting? A 12 foot leader is a complete leader, by adding another four foot of tippet, this could be causing the turnover issue.
@peterdavies4273
@peterdavies4273 3 года назад
@@TheSavagederek Double tippet? I’m using a 4X 12 foot copolymer leader stepped down to 2 foot of 5x then 2 foot of 6X turns over perfectly with many other lines. I’ll even go up to 18 feet if the fish are really spooky. What leader/tippet set up are you using, out of interest? 👍🎣

Rio gold elite or technical taper for small Stillwaters?
@AardvarkMcLeodFlyFishing
@AardvarkMcLeodFlyFishing 3 года назад
Depends what size of flies you are going to fish generally.. and line weight, the technical taper only goes to a WF6. The Gold is probably the best all rounder, but the technical taper will give great presentation at range....
