Flashtail Roach

No comments yet

The Flashtail Roach is a proven pike catcher on my home waters. It's a very simple and quick tie using a mixture of natural and synthetic materials. Experiment by replacing the synthetics with Nayat (snow runner) to make an even more awesome fly.

Material List:
Hook: Ahrex Light Predator PR351 6/0
Thread: Veevus 140 Power Thread in white
White Bucktail
Flash Loop: Funky Ripple Flash in Pearl and Silver, Hedron Flashabou orange and Holo Silver
Funky Fibre in Silver Baitfish Back, smoke, white and orange
Eyes: Jerkbaitmania Predator Eyes 12mm

The GFF money box

… I have a small favor to ask.

Long story short

Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.

Long story longer

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
