Tying A "Trout Crack" Fly

Another simple tie that really works! The trout crack pattern was originally developed by White River guide John Wilson. This small fly is regularly used as a dropper and can be tied weighted if desired. Tool & material list and links:

I've tied way better crack... !!! 😂

Doesn’t it have a head that fly as soon as you wound the rib you whipped finished it without building up a head 🙄

The whip finish is the head on this particular fly.

@@Lilleys_Landing I would think a little super glue or UV bone dry on the head for added durability. Mono sometimes will come undone. At least when I use it. Nice simple patter.

[@corymann3910]

I think his head is built up ... 😂

[@corymann3910]

Sawyers killer bug doesn't have a head , it's iconic in the fly tying world. Simple flies work , ignore the negativity😊
