    Default Crackleback

    Hi,
    I am originally from Missouri (live on Kauai now). The Crackleback originated with Feathercraft in StLouis.

    I have been experimenting with a variation of it. I am real fond of the marrying of brown and grizzly hackle like on the famous Adams

    Please check these out on my little blogsite:
    Flyfishing99.blogspot.com


    and let me know what you think

    I have done well with the Crackleback when nothing else would move fish

    Thanks

    Nice looking pattern. Looks like it should work just fine:^) I have a fishing buddy who swears by the original Crackleback pattern.....tied to spec:^) He fishes it in the same manner I tend to fish an Elk-Hair Caddis. It does well for him.

    I know some of our club members fish that fly on a intermediate sink line, and do well on the white river in AR.

    Byron,

    I live in Missouri and the crackleback is my goto fly in the state parks and the white river system. Great fly to fish either dry or stripped on a sinking line. My favorite color is an olive-yellow body and olive grizley hackle.

    Where in Missouri did you live?

    Dave

    I grew up in Lebanon. Bennett was my playground when it wasn't as crowded. How about you?
