River Roach

River Roach is a natural, earthy colourway designed for river systems and pressured fish. With rich brown tones over a muted base and subtle flash through the body, it presents a true baitfish profile that stays understated while still giving enough presence to trigger a reaction bite.

Designed and hand-tied by BushManDan, this fly is made for targeting free-swimming Murray cod in open water. The dense brushed head pushes serious water, while the long tapered synthetic body creates natural movement on a steady retrieve. It tracks clean, holds its profile, and stays balanced through the column — ideal for drawing fish in from a distance.

Durable, balanced, and built to handle hard fights, this fly is designed to be fished confidently and consistently.

Built tough. Made to be fished hard.
