Simple grasshopper pattern, that is nearly indestructible. This pattern floats all day, and fools many fish.

  • 2 questions. Where do u get the tool used in beggining of video to cut the foam. What is it called. And second is there any alternative to the Krystal Flash? thx.

  • @aspca226 Any hook you like will work just fine. The tool is a "Beavertail" foam cutter, from River Road Creations. I bought it in a Fly shop, but you can also find them on the internet. There are several different brands of crystal flash out there, but as for an entirely different material substitute I am not sure. The fly would probably work just fine with out any underwing material, if you are unable to find some flash. Thanks for watching, and hope this helps.

  • Why don't you cement the 2 peices of foam together at the head? Also, I like your whip finishing tool :-)

  • @cosmokenney Sorry it took so long to reply. The area at the head is so small it can sometimes make the head look messy with run off glue. Also I am a lazy tyer and it is not detrimental to the function and durability of the fly...........so I skip it. Thanks for watching.

  • very nice fly. Thanks.

  • @youngoutdoorsman2001 Glad you like it, thanks for watching.
