How to Tie a Kreelex Gamechanger

The Kreelex has become recognized all over the world as a fish catching machine. Chuck Kraft dreamt up the pattern 1 night before leaving for Chile to guide for the winter. It crushed fish in every river system he fished down south. He then fished the pattern in the Jackson Hole 1 Fly tournament for years posting some impressive numbers. Our crew has been fishing this fly in the mid Atlantic and out west for decades with amazing success. Since the dawning of the game changer flies we have been working to perfect a brush of Kreinik flash material to build the perfect flashy swimming minnow. Behold the Kreelex changer! This fly can be tied small for trout, in medium sizes for bass, redfish, and other saltwater fish, or in giant sizes for pike and musky. Andy has this pattern very well dialed in and shares us the technique to build the perfect Kreelex Changer fly. Thanks to Chuck Kraft and Blane Chocklett for their creativity and allowing this pattern to come to life!

Another great video Andy, really inspired me to try to tie one myself.

Damn... I'd tie this but there just isn't quite enough flash for me 😂

Great looking fly. Why did you use another 15mm shank to tie to the hook? Some steel wire would also work and you save the shank for later use. Also, please add a list of materials. Many thanks

Steel wire does work well, but we have had fish roll and twist the wire where it breaks. Also over time if you use a fly for a long time, we have had the wire wear down to where it isn't as strong. Using a shank has fixed that issue for us. Just extra caution.
