Lopat's cranefly

[BlackLabel]

You asked for it buddy so I tied one up. Needs some work like less thread behind the bead for one. I used a black tungsten bead, regular colored condom, SLF Kaufmann in brown stone under the latex. I think it looks enough like a cranefly.

Did this fly work?

[BlackLabel]

I only ever made that on and sent it to Lopat. I think it made is way into a tree or something. I should make some more. You want to try some out Aaron?

[TexasChris]

I'll take a dozen. ;D

[AaronJasper]

Nick,

Can you make me some without the beads? Maybe .030 underbody on a size 10 streamer hook.

[BlackLabel]

Sure.

[LopatNympher]

I used it as an anchor, didn't get anything on it except like Nick mentioned, a tree. I modified it a little and it worked well on the little browns in Lopatcong Creek.

[AaronJasper]

Can you e mail me a pic of the modifications? No picture of the "good one" on the site ok.

[LopatNympher]

On its way.
