Tackle Week 2026: The best new fly fishing gear for Canadian waters, from the river to the vise

Best Fly Line

ELITE GOLD XP

Featuring a half-size heavy design, Rio’s new XP (extra power) weight-forward line is perfect for casting nymphs and heavier offerings. With its mid-length front taper, it can also turn over delicate dry flies with finesse. As well, the line’s balanced body powers both short- to mid-length shots, while the medium-long rear taper maintains line control in the air, and while mending. It comes in line weights 3 to 8.
