✅ 2025 Stock (New) – Latest version with potential refinements in taper or coating.
Best Uses:
✔ Spring Creeks & Tailwaters – Where spooky fish demand a gentle touch.
✔ Technical Dry Fly Fishing – For sipping trout in slow-moving water.
✔ Euro Nymphing (Light Applications) – Can be paired with a long leader for tight-line techniques.
Specs (Typical for Rio Midge Tip Lines):
– Length: Full line ~90′ (with 3′ midge tip)

Why Choose This Line?
If you fish highly pressured waters where drag-free drifts and subtle presentations are critical, this line helps keep the fly floating naturally without spooking fish. The 2025 update may include improved durability or slickness.
