Barrio Fly Lines are based at Haddo Trout Fishery in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. Our 2010 floating fly line range is enjoying a worldwide reputation for innovation, quality and great value for money.

The launch of a Barrio fly line follows many months of fly line taper research and development and a tremendous amount of enthusiastic input and feedback from local anglers who help to review each prototype throughout the process.

Barrio Mallard Fly Lines have gained a strong following over the years, with their nice supple feel, next to no memory and specially designed tapers, these fly lines are simply superb and offer great value for money!

Anglers of all levels of casting ability will find the Mallard a very easy fly line to cast. Suitable for most fishing styles and techniques, these high quality fly lines are certainly capable of casting a good distance, but more importantly, capable of accurate and delicate casts at normal fishing ranges.

New for 2010 ..... the Barrio GT140 Fly Line

PLEASE NOTE!       ( June 2010 )

Please note that the
Barrio GT140 fly line was launched as and previously known as The Barrio Outcast fly line.

We have recently become aware of some trade mark issues with the name
Outcast and have therefore decided to rename the fly line ….. the Barrio GT140.

NEW FOR 2010 …. THE BARRIO GT140 FLY LINE
140 ft long …….... with great turnover at distance!


The new
Barrio GT140 fly line has superb turnover, which allows large flies to be cast with control even in the lighter line sizes and still provides excellent presentation of small flies when combined with a tapered leader. Our 90 ft WF3F and WF4F versions are proving extremely popular, as they give you such great line control in all manner of fishing situations.

Our long, almost continuous rear taper, after the relatively short belly and front taper, produces a line that will load a rod well at short range for "off the tip" casts, yet it allows huge lengths of line to be aerialised under control when distance is required.  This design combined with a new high performance coating allows anglers to shoot line from any length that they are comfortable with.

The
Barrio GT140 excels at distance and provides a real alternative to other top end distance lines currently on the market, but with one real difference ….. it is a superb fishing line!

Barrio fly lines are manufactured for us in the UK to a very high standard and by using computer controlled production systems, we are able to incorporate minute changes within our fly line profiles.

The chart on the left shows the standard AFFTA specification weights for the first 30 feet of a fly line. These specifications are measured in grains and help to match a fly line to your rod.

Apart from the changes in diameter needed to produce the various fly line weights in the range, each of our fly line sizes has an individual profile with different belly and taper lengths. Balanced tapers that keep you in control and flatter your casting!
