  I have been using Rio Gold on my NRX LP since I bought it. This seems to be the favorite line of most people with that rod and is one of the choices RIO offers in the Line Selector. I recently bought the Scientific Anglers Amplitude Smooth Trout Line for fishing Dries and hope it improves my delivery of the fly.
  
  Anu thoughts on this?

  Bill,
  
  I would think that the SA Amplitude Smooth Trout line would be a better line for Dries on your LP.
  
  Gold is a bit heavy in the tip area. The Trout Line would be more true to wt. and the LP is a more medium action rod (like a Winston would be). On my Winston WT 4 wt. , a true to wt. Trout line has been the best for laying a dry fly gently on the water.
  
  I predict that the Trout line will be a winner for you. Gold would be a bit better if the wind picks up.
  
  Merry Christmas
