Barrio Fly Lines, designed in Scotland, manufactured in the UK, cast with confidence all over the world.
Barrio Fly Lines are researched and developed in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, at the heart of the rivers Don, Dee, Spey and Deveron. The Barrio Fly Line range is ideal for fishing our lochs and rivers and is enjoying an ever growing reputation for innovation, quality and value for money. With their nice supple feel and very low memory, they are simply a pleasure to cast!

Order status update:
I have processed all the Christmas to New Year orders, but we have been experiencing a bit of weather over the last few days and I haven't managed to get them out in the post yet I'm afraid.
Yes, there is a car under there somewhere - fingers crossed for an improvement over the coming days!

A good steady flow of lines going out in the mail bags thanks, so it looks like your Santa lists are working 🙂
I have more batches coming off the machines in Redditch this week to keep the shelves topped up.
Time for a coffee break and to get one of my own reels ready for next season!

It's the end of the season in our neck of the woods, and it seems, time for the various winter casting courses to begin.
I normally offer the Barrio SLX line in olive green, but I have recently received requests for the orange version from a number of instructors and candidates - so we ran a batch of the WF6F & WF7F on the machines last week. There are still some of these available, so I have added them to the webshop stock 🙂

There is something very satisfying about using a rubber stamp and writing with a pen 🙂

Watch out for our new packaging, this will be a gradual transition throughout the season.
Smaller, lighter, easier to recycle - I hope you like it 🙂

It's certainly proving a busy start to the year!
A number of lines have sold out already, but the machines down at Redditch are rolling, the next batches will be arriving over the coming weeks ..... and some are currently on the way.

I hope you enjoy a great Christmas.

I really enjoyed the last day of the trout season!
Fishing buddy to share it with, a good strong flask of coffee, and there were plenty of fish to be caught 🙂

Great to see the Barrio Troutstream fly line performing well in the review by Magnus Angus 🙂
