Fishable Cricket

[Fred H. 0]

Here is a fishable House cricket.Though I went off of a photo specimen the techniques used

were invented and relayed to me by David Martin .It's not as nice as his but here is my humble attempt. This is a very durable fly and should stand up to many ,many takes by even toothy fish.

Sturdy material is replacing more delicate realistic materials but I don't think it takes away from the overall appearance.

Again, I'm amazed. Every time I click on one of your realistic ties, I'm blown away. Great job!!

Hey Fred,

 

Your cricket looks awesome....the photo is a bit blurry but it says enough (I would like to see more detail in a better photo though...no offence).

Now since Adres keeps us in the dark about how he made the thing any chance you will tell us how you did it?

Sweet Fred, Looks real. Do you need a slightly larger gape hook?

 

Cheers, Futzer.

Hi guys , thanks for the comments.

The techniques used in this fly are not of my design. I am hoping to get David to sell

some of his tying cds . All his flies are made using the same techniques and only a handful of

common materials available anywhere. What makes this technique so appealing to me is that

every pattern can be made a fishable or super realistic just by adding or not adding details.

But every fly is super durable.
