This full sinking fly line was developed for the expert competition reservoir “buzzer” or chironomid anglers in the United Kingdom who need to get their flies down deep and fast. The Deep 7, built on an ultra thin single-strand monofilament core, is one of the fastest and most durable sinking lines in the world. It gets flies down deep and generates high line speed. North American anglers find it useful fishing in waters such as the Kamloops area of British Columbia or the desert lakes of the U.S. The Deep 7 is created for a 7 weight fly rod, but can be used on 5 – 8 weight.

 

For us Northern California fly fishers, the Rio Deep 7 is the line to use on the Fall River. All the big trout hide in the deeper holes. Swing a leech pattern using the Deep 7 grabs the big fish. FFS holds a fly fishing tournament at the Fall every spring. All the past winners used the Rio Deep 7 religously.
