Capt. Mark Posted November 16, 2010 Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 This fly came together from left over pieces of material after tying a few crab patterns and tarpon flies. I like flies that I can tie fast! The redfish hammered this pattern over the gr***y flats in out westside lagoons! I am sure it would have worked on the eastside sand flats but just never left the fish on the westside!

Crosscut rabbit strip and bead chain eyes (varied for sink rate) on a 34007 mustad #6.

oldsalt Posted November 17, 2010 Report Share Posted November 17, 2010 That fly looks great! Caqn't go wrong with chart/white in stained or muddy water. Bet it would work in burnt orange and white in clear water too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capt. Mark Posted November 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2010 Your right! But I'll have to do a few in maroon and white so my ten year old won't get mad! I have only eight more years or so to change his mind! Guess their could be worse things to deal with though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldsalt Posted November 18, 2010 Report Share Posted November 18, 2010 If that is the least of your worries, God bless. Raised four boys. In my old stomping grounds the choice was Maize and Blue or Green and White. PS: Almost forgot...try artic fox in place of the craft fur. It will pulsate with the slightest movement.

Capt. Mark Posted November 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2010 Yes it does! I use that for crab flies instead of marabou! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
