Rio Flies Quick Picks Best All-Around Trout Assortment: Rio Trout Hopper Dropper Fly Assortment - Built for anglers who want a ready-to-fish topwater + subsurface mix for summer through early fall trout fishing. It’s an easy way to cover surface eats while keeping a productive nymph trailing behind. Best for Streamer Fishing: Rio Streamer Fly Assortment - Great for anglers targeting bigger trout (or covering water fast) with baitfish and leech-style presentations. It helps you rotate profiles and colors quickly when fish want movement instead of a dead drift. Best for Bonefish Trips: Rio Bonefish Fly Assortment - A practical flats-focused assortment for anglers who want a starting lineup of proven shrimp/crab-style bonefish patterns. Ideal when you want to show up with the right “bread and butter” options without overthinking the first box. Best for Tarpon Trips: Rio Tarpon Fly Assortment - Designed for anglers planning dedicated tarpon days where fly durability and the right silhouettes matter. It’s a simple way to build confidence before you start fine-tuning to local forage. Best Value Single Fly (Add-On): Rio Blind Charlie Fly - A smart add-on when you need an extra, proven flats pattern for bonefish-style situations. Great for rounding out an assortment so you’re not short on a key fly after a few fish (or a few mangroves). How to Choose Rio Flies Start with the scenario (not the pattern name) Action: Decide what you need your fly to do in the water column first: float (dry), drift subsurface (nymph/wet), or swim and get noticed (streamer/baitfish). Then use the filters for target species and pack size to narrow down quickly. Best for: Anglers who want fewer decisions on the water, especially when traveling, fishing new rivers, or building a first fly box. When assortments make the most sense Action: Choose an assortment when you want coverage across sizes, colors, and styles without buying a dozen singles. Assortments are especially helpful for hopper-dropper
