Hi all!
My name is Joćo Mota and i live in Madeira Island.
I want to try a Barrio fly line but i“m not certain which is the best one for me...
I normally cast dry flies #12/14 and some nymphs in the same size for rainbows in Madeira moutain streams, they are little water streams with pools, and I have a Redington Tempt 3wt 7'6''.
Here some pics of the streams...

Any help would be appreciated!

Hi Joćo,
Welcome to the forum :z16
Thank you for sharing the nice photos of your streams. For this type of water I think I would choose our Barrio Smallstream WF3F, or possibly our Mallard DT3F.
Which lines are your current favourites for fishing your streams?
Best wishes
Mike

Now that looks a lovely place to fish, proper small stream fishing. Thank you for putting up the photos.
-
without a doubt the Smallstream 3wt. you'll LOVE it ! :z16

I'm using Rio mainstream 3WF, a nice line but its showing some rock bites. I normally fish with 10ft of line out of the tip, and some times only the leader if I'm nymphing...in some rare times I must cast for the 30ft mark.

Hi Joćo,
Yes, the Barrio Smallstream WF3F would be my choice then, see http://www.flylineshop.com/barrio-smallstream-fly-line.html (http://www.flylineshop.com/barrio-smallstream-fly-line.html)
But when you "only have the leader out of the tip" ...... the line will not make much difference of course :z4
Best wishes
