Umpqua Sandy’s Cracked Crab

Sandy knows the bonefish of the Keys as well as anyone. When he says this new pattern works we believe him, no questions asked. A mere two years old, it has scored big results around his Islamorada waters, and those big fish are as wary and picky as any to be found. It is not inordinately heavy, but is weighted “just enough” and designed to land softly for skinny water and tailing fish. Recently fished in the Bahamas, this fly was simply crushed repeatedly.
