He's a guide in Mass. and an absolute awesome fly tier. His talents are in the realm of Skok, Popovics, et al. I am on a kick this winter tying up some of his stuff. I learned it a couple years back at an Eldrege Bros. tying class. At that time the pattern was altered a bit to include the EC 413 Jig hook size 5/0 and a glass rattle was added. Yes the frigging thing even clicks like the real mccoy. The position it represents is two fold. Its called a defensive posture when is lands upon the bottom, if it even gets there, claws up ready to fight. When falling through the water column the claws will be trailing above just like the real thing when thrown overbaord or washed from a craggly rock by a receeding wave. You are spot on about the time and places to fish it at. You know any lobstermen we can follow aroung in the Whaler?

It will have a little bit of Skok's Slobster influence in it.

It seems like a great crayfish imitation as well. I'm not clear on the size but it certainly seems like the size of a crayfish as well. Very cool pattern!

It would work here in the tropcs as well. nice going. marsh Back to top mohawkriverdan Newbie Joined: Oct 29, 2006 Posts: 1 Posted: Sat Dec 09, 2006 10:51 pm    Post subject: That thing is pissing me off...

But Marsh... wouldn't the Florida Saltwater version have no claws but heavier and longer antennae (fly-line) for the longosta version... or else be tied shorter and fatter WITH two unequal claws but WITHOUT the antennae for the stone crab version? All these options are makin' me hungry! BTW, is $8.00 your estimate of the cost to make or the list price?

Isn't it a bit difficult to cast when it's windy ? Back to top MarshallD Newbie Joined: Feb 06, 2004 Posts: 96 Posted: Sun Dec 10, 2006 7:51 am    Post subject: Like Avid said, for S.w. Florida this pattern would work well for Reds, Trout and Snook if it were Quote: tied shorter and fatter WITH two unequal claws but WITHOUT the antennae for the stone crab version Yes indeed. And at the local Orvis Shop it might fetch $8.00 retail... Casting it may not be an issue because of the heavy eyes.
