Jeff Currier's Artwork

At the Denver Sportsmen’s show several years ago I ran into my good friend Jeff Currier. He was working on a watercolor. I knew Jeff was talented; however I did not know that he was a gifted artist. He was applying the final spots on a Snake River Cutthroat that was the best trout painting I had ever seen. I begged him to sell it to me, and he did but with a look on his face like, “I can actually sell my paintings?” Since that day I have commissioned Jeff to paint at least 15 more fish. The paintings are as good as it gets. I could not be more pleased, and they make my fishing room a real work of art.

Jeff Currier Joins RIO Products Professional Advisory Team

20 Years of Innovative RIO Products

Jeff Currier joins RIO! In September Jeff became a member of the RIO Advisory Team. Jeff has used Rio products since their beginning and will tell you they make only the best. The RIO Advisory Team consist of an elite group who are passionate about fly fishing. It is their combined knowledge that helps bring anglers the absolute best in fly lines, tippet materials and other essential accessories. Jeff is proud to be RIO's newest Team Member.

In 1990, Jim Vincent founded RIO in the mountains of Idaho on the idea that exceptional fly fishing products should be built by anglers for anglers. Twenty years later, they are still in Idaho and driven by that same ethos.

Most employees of RIO Products are your basic passionate fly fishing bums, looking for any excuse to get on the water as much as they can. Often, that means tinkering with tapers, coatings and cores to bring you the very best lines on the market. This year, they’ve enjoyed getting out on their home waters and testing their two newest lines: the Trout LT (Light Touch) and the new Indicator Line. RIO thinks you’ll find these two new lines to be among RIO's best yet and must-haves in the arsenal of the serious trout angler.

But not everything RIO did this year is brand new. They have taken two of their most popular features — RIO's DualTone color system and Welded Loops—and added them to more of their lines. Look for these features on many of RIO's premium lines throughout their full line product catalog.
