For those targeting winter redfish in Louisiana, this is the fly you need. Proven to entice and land multiple bulls over 30 lbs., this fly was the winner after a recent research trip. With extra heavy lead eyes and a stout saltwater hook, the Hopedale Crab is a redfish slaying dream. It also has been proven to entice drum of large sizes.

Big fish like little fish, and soon after the original Kinky Muddler started making the rounds and netting some monsters, those same big fish told us they needed a trimmer, smaller version as well. This pattern is a stealthy, neutrally buoyant baitfish imitation that mimics the profile of small and midsized baits. It sports a water-pushing head that makes its tail wiggle just like a real baitfish, and it calls tarpon, snook, and reds out from the mangroves. Largemouth bass love to ambush it as it hovers near lily pads, and it’s also a killer baitfish imitation in clear water flats and bays, when you need something subtle that can be inched and scooted along in shallow water for stripers and blues. And yet, despite its backcountry pedigree, raging albies and small tuna in the rips also love to hammer it, because it swims so naturally.

For those targeting bonefish, this is a must have fly. Combined with extra small lead eyes, this pattern sinks well in deeper flats, and draws the attention of both bonefish and permit. Available in both spawning shrimp colors and a more muted pink, this fly is a universal pattern that will quickly become a go-to.
