Features & Benefits
Euro RQ Design
We have seen the ever increasing market for Euro Nymphing in the fly fishing space which is why we have ultimately decided on creating a new fly rod roof rack for European style nymphing. The River Quiver Euro is an extension of our Standard River Quiver model and comes with all of the same features.

FAQs
The short answer is yes, but it all depends on the cross-bar system you have on your vehicle. We have three different mounting options that will accommodate all different roof rack styles and your specific needs. To read more about these mounting options, please click here.
The River Quiver is designed to fit most commercial roof rack systems. In fact, Riversmith engineers haven’t yet found a commercial rack that doesn’t fit. We completed a thorough review of multiple brands and styles of rack to make sure there were no limitations with our product.If the thickness of crossbars is over 1 3/8” it will require extended bolts(Sold Separately). If the crossbars sit lower than average; < 1.5" from top of crossbar to top of roof, it will require shorter bolts (Sold Separately).This is common in earlier generations of the Toyota 4Runner and Honda CRV factory Racks.
Yes, the additional length of the Euro River Quiver does not take away from being able to have standard length rods in there as well. We understand people may have significantly different rod lengths with the Euro River Quiver so we made sure the additional length doesn't take away from using smaller length rods in the unit at the same time as euro rods.
You can most definitely keep the River Quiver on year-round. We designed it to ensure you can have your rod rigged at the ready no matter the time of year you are fishing.
The River Quiver can accommodate spey/switch rods with a minor tweak to how the reel sits on the rod. Simply connect the reel on the back butt section with either a reel cover or rubber band. When you arrive at your fishing destination all you need to from here is to re-attach reel into the reel seat and you are off fishing.
Yes, most SUV's with a hatch require the River Quiver to be mounted with both brackets on rear half of the coupler. This is okay and does not affect the functionality of the unit.
Extended Mounting Bolts are used to fit larger than normal roof rack bars. If the thickness of crossbars is over 1 3/8” it will require extended bolts. These bolts are an extended version of the standard mounting bolts that attach the River Quiver mounting bracket to your roof rack. They are 1'' longer in case you have installed a Spacer Kit with your River Quiver fly rod holder or have larger than normal crossbars. We also have the high-security version of the Locking Extended Mount Bolts.
Simply change the mounts to the opposite mounting track and mount the River Quiver Reel Box Up. Reel box up is a very popular, and easy fix; the beauty of the River Quiver is that is can be mounted reel box up, reel box down, sideways, hanging below the rack, whatever you can dream of and will work with your rack/vehicle. You will not see any difference in performance in any River Quiver Orientation. You can simply flip the rear Riversmith logo and re-adhere if needed.
If the crossbars sit lower than average;< 1.5" from top of crossbar to top of roof, it will require shorter bolts (Sold Separately)
Extended Length
The Euro River Quiver is specifically designed to cater to the needs of Euro nymphing anglers. With the ability to securely hold fly rods up to 11'4" in length, it ensures your longer Euro nymphing rods are effortlessly transported.
Security
This rod holder provides a streamlined and secure solution for rooftop vehicle mounting, allowing you to transport your gear to your favorite fishing spots without the hassle of disassembly or worrying about rod security.
Versatility
The innovative mounting options ensure quick and easy access to your extended rods, so you can transition seamlessly from traveling to casting, maximizing your time on the water and your chances of landing that prized catch.

"I opted for the Euro RQ because my buddy recently sold me on the fact that euro-nymphing is the most effective way to catch trout." -Ryan Chelius
