Description
Crafty Roach is a South African stillwater streamer by Murray Pedder that puts craft fur to work where rabbit strip falls short. Craft fur sheds water far more efficiently than natural hide, making the fly significantly easier to cast and allowing it to land and sink with a cleaner, more natural entry. It also retains its profile and buoyancy through a long session in a way that waterlogged rabbit simply cannot match. Tied by Flyzinc on a #2 hook, the pattern has proven itself on some of South Africa's best stillwaters and delivers a mobile, lifelike wing action on the pause and throughout a slow retrieve.
Pack Size - 2 flies
