What’s not to love about this crab fly??? 🦀✨ The natural buoyancy of the Fulling Mill deer hair and rabbit zonker creates an ultra-realistic presentation, making it a great choice for selective permit. With so much room for creativity, I had a blast experimenting with colors—but for a go-to fly box staple, I’d opt for classic sandy or olive tones 💙 Materials and tools are listed and linked below, and you can find a tutorial for the dubbing mix technique I used by ‪@CharliesFlyBox‬ Charlie Craven (who came up with the technique) here: Dubbing Mixing Tricks with Charlie
