Rigging a size 24 gnat to 7x tippet with your bare fingers and naked eye is a badge of honor. We get it. But fingers get cold, light gets bad, hands and eyes get tired. The Fly Roost is here to help! The Fly Roost holds your fly in place, guides your line through the eye of the hook, and spins to help you finish the knot. The Fly Roost lets you easily thread and knot your fly no matter how small the hook or how frozen the fingers. The Fly Roost works with most hooks and fly types from size 6 down to size 24.

Before you leave us a review...
Please make sure you purchased an authentic Talweg product. If you ordered from anywhere other than this website or an actual fly shop, if you paid anything other than 29.99, or if you got a useless piece of plastic in the mail , then you unfortunately purchased a fake from Chinese counterfeiters.
They are using our name and our images but they are selling fakes. Our products are made in and shipped from Utah. We would love to help you get the real product, but please don't leave us a review of a product that we didn't sell. If you're not sure, send us an email and we will get you taken care of.
Great support tool
Yes, I got scammed twice on Facebook till I seen the name talwegco on the product and then after chatting found out, you have the real thing. The others were obviously 3D built once I got them plus magnet was too small and in the wrong place. I think the roost works well for the really small flies which I needed it for. I have recommended it to a few friends. Only downfall is when I ordered it is price. It cost me 43 bucks for roost plus 42 bucks total for shipping and handling and duty at the border, which is basically the same price as a product so but I do like the product.
Hoping it works well
I really like the product and went out of my way to purchase the original instead of a Chinese knockoff! The product works on even the smallest flys. That being said it comes in a two piece design which allows you to have the bottom attach to your vest and the tow to twist so you can easily do clinch knots. I have almost lost the top part twice because the two pieces came apart. I has able to find it in the bed of truck .
Thanks for the review David, I haven't seen the issue with the base before; sounds like it might have a defect. I just sent you a new one. Good luck out there!
I bought a Regular and XL, and more times that not, I had to thread the line through the hook myself, so basically I only used the magnet and hook stay.
Thanks for the review Jack, would love to get a little more detail about your experience, particularly what sort of hooks/flies you had issues with. We don't usually get this kind of response. A few things to try if you haven't: Make sure the eye is clear of glue, point the curve the tippet downward, choke up on lighter tippet, and try a different slot If the line isn't going through. Hopefully some of that helps. Good luck out there!
