The Mercules Cab is that defensive crab that you can drag along the bottom or tie to slow sink or float if you like . Tied in North / South, this fly offers the tyer a range of carapace options like the ones seen here in both stacked Deerhair, or stacked BB Fibre as examples.  Fished hard on the bottom, bounced over weed and rocks, tied to slow sink or float this design will quickly be recognised by fish as a prey item.  The Mercules Crab fished this way, offers that classic start stop presentation style, that imitates that crab who aint taking no crap from the predatory fish as it stands its ground. The Mercules can also be used as a lightweight presentation with a floating carapace like a Sargassum Crab. The only glue used in these pictures is for the eyes, the rest is all tied in. The weight options can vary from the full control of placement and weight Tungsten putty offers, or the tyer can chose to tie in Dumbells eyes anywhere along the shank.  At this stage only a 45mm (absolute wides part, tip to tip of the legs) is available in 4 colours.

The Muineer or fleeing crab design enables you, the angler to strip your crab fly in a natural fashion when you need too. The large prominent realistic claw trailing the fly is a huge trigger point for fish to identify this prey item as a crab, which arguably will reduce hesitation and a faster reaction bite. The design enhances what we already know about how this style of legs travel through the air and the water... Landing hook point up and a fly that cuts through the wind is no problem for the Mutineer design.  There is a free and publicly accessible tying video for the Mutineer at www.flatscraft.com The Mutineer has a tying tab which enables easy lashing to the hook shank... important for fish like permit which will make short work of materials simply glued on.  The Mutineer lends itself to surface, slow sinking and floating presentations. The materials is flexible and your thread will not cut it. The material also accepts marker pens, glue (E6000) and high quality resin really well. Adaptable to many carapaces, such as the Gavs Crab platform. Sold in packs of 5 and available in XSmall, Small, Medium and Large. 

The Split Crab design is our most versatile design yet. These legs lend themselves to a huge variety of crab flies and concepts… From Crabs that need to be anchored on the bottom, to floating and slow sinking crab flies. The Split Crab can also be tied on any length hook, depending on the design you want to tie. Simply cut the joining strip and tie in two halves to suit your hook, or just use the trailing legs, or just use the claws. The Split Crab also suits a range of carapaces and weight options. This design has taken us a lot of time.. your looking at version number 6. The design is perfectly balanced so that if you decide to use the whole set of legs, the drag is even on the descent and on the strip…. Nothing worse than a crab fly that doesn’t do what you want it to do for that one opportunity you have been waiting for all day, year or your whole life !

We are huge fans of Dave Skok's Strong Arm Merkin, you cannot argue with the results. The fascinating thing about this fly is its use of Buoyancy and Drag  to keep the fly where it needs to be as opposed to using weight like traditional Merkins and shrimps. We also know that the claw and the way it's prepared then tied, has a huge part to do with this. Dave originally ties his with large ultra chenille, tying the chenille around the bend of the hook and setting the arm and claw in resin so that it doesn't move. Also being quoted saying "Do not be random or sloppy about the angle and straightness of the claw as it has great impact on how the fly swims and sinks." This claw is an alternative to the work needed for the Chenille, no resin, no guess work as to how far to tie around the bend, no smell (no resin or glue), designed to use it's drag in the water during it's descent to keep it hook point up, consistent size, faster and dead straight every time. We feel that it respects the ingenuity that Dave showed with developing the Strong...

We’ve been using stomach pumps on trout for as long as we can remember. They are great for checking the stomach contents of a trout without harming the fish. Simply put the tube into the water, squeeze the bulb and let the bulb suck in water. Then gently insert the tube into the fish’s stomach, squeeze the bulb (which injects the water into the fish’s stomach), then release the bulb. The food the trout was eating is then sucked up the tube into the bulb. Note that the stomach pump will not work on yellowfish as the crushing plates at the back of the fish’s throat do not allow the pump’s tube to fit into the stomach.

Fly Tying Hannibal Mask for brush flies and other baitfish imitations.
