How to tie a Simple Tan Crab - Top Saltwater Fly

[@frpiner]

Best produced fly tying video I have ever watched. No boring dialog or monotonous music. Good job and nice looking fly.

Thanks for the good word Frank!

Ive never enjoyed watching a tie as much as this one listening to u land that red.

A very tidy effort Matt. That should do the trick! ATB.

Now that looked simple. Maybe my next trip to Mexico I will make a few.

heading for the bench, have not tied one in years. stripers love crabs

[@thomastuorto9929]

CAPE Cod flats? Do stripes eat spider crabs also? Thanks for any replies in advance?

[@brennantrask1865]

Looks great! What is the body fiber you use?

[@MattThomasFishing]

I used EP Fibers for this pattern. However, most fly tying fibers of this sort work well. Thanks for the good word Brennan!

Cool crab

[@adalbertoromero9028]

Nice crab, but, How do I use this crab in the water? (Pulling the line) thank you for your help.

[@bradenmcelroy3262]

Sorry for the late response but crabs skim the meniscus or bottom. The only in between is when they’re are rising. Every crab fly I have encountered resembles a fiddler crab which should be treated as such

[@MultifunPeche]

Magnifique fly good job:)
