River Ghost – Murray Cod Fly The River Ghost is a subtle, natural-profile Murray cod fly designed for slow rolling fish that spook easily. Built to imitate a large baitfish without excessive splash or flash, this fly excels in pressured water, low light, and clear conditions where cod rely on vibration and silhouette rather than noise. Tied using a blend of BB Fibre, Yowie Fibre, and natural badger saddle hackle, the River Ghost has a full-bodied profile with soft movement and a natural taper. The materials breathe and pulse on the pause, creating a lifelike presence that triggers reaction strikes from holding fish. Perfect for fishing along snags, undercut banks, and deep structure, this fly tracks true on a slow retrieve and hangs naturally in the water column. Best fished: • Slow roll or long pauses • Along timber and structure • Low light, clear to lightly stained water Target species: Murray cod Profile: Large baitfish / ambush pattern Hand-tied in Australia
