Hot Spot Cruncher

2 comments

Here's a simple, effective cruncher pattern that is well worth tying, as it works well either fished as a nymph or as a wet fly. To support my channel and enter the giveaways head to https://www.patreon.com/flickingfeathers and become a patron or support through paypal.me/flickingfeathers

Materials List
Hook: Kamasan B175 or B170
Thread: Camel Uni 8/0
Tail: Ginger cock hackle fiber
Rib: Gold Wire
Tag: Glo-brite no.5 floss
Abdomen: Pheasant tail
Thorax: Pheasant tail ice dub
Hackle: Ginger variant cock hackle

Andrés,

I will try to reply for Martyn. I can see that the hook is fairly large for the size of the fly, and my guess is that size 8-10 will work fine. The Kamasan hooks are thin wire (B170) and heavy wire (B175), and can be hard to find in smaller sizes than 10.

Long story longer

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
