Strongarm Merkin is my favorite Permit fly, but I only fish in Florida.

[@Tridentflyfishing]

One of the classics for sure

Specifically for Yucatan & Belize, about how big should a permit crab body be? I’m referring to typical crabs like Merkin, EP, Bauer, etc. About the size of a Dime? Penny? Nickel? Quarter? Bigger? Is it seasonal? Trying to tie my own for an upcoming trip.

[@Tridentflyfishing]

Permit crabs are typically large, size 4-1/0. If I were you I would contact your guide or lodge to get specifics, on your location, time of year, and their experiences.

Avalon and Hexo crab is all yo need for permit in Cuba.

Does anyone know what a merkin is? And how that fly got it’s name? Pretty damn funny.

[@Tridentflyfishing]

Del Brown first tied the Merkin in the mid-80s. Not sure how he came up with the name, unfortunately!

[@Saltfly]

@@Tridentflyfishing because it looked like a merkin.

[@CDflyguy]

Andy Mill talks about it in the Millhouse podcast I can’t remember the specifics
