There is a SA version of this fly which is effectivly tied the same way, just with bucktail as opposed to plastic for the back. Its called the "Baby Cray". The original pattern is in the Dec 2003 issue of "Flyfishing" magazine. The same fly is also in a later issue of "Complete Flyfisherman" but the the author has upgraded the fly and uses a drinking straw for the shellback. Personally I prefer the bucktail shellback. If you don't have access to the older mags, let me know and I'll post the recipe here for you.how is this fly tied ?
Let me see if I can whip something up by the weekend.Nice fly. Somehow i have neither of those issues. Can you maybe help with the tying instructions?
