Description
The Adult Crane Dry is a foam-bodied fly designed to imitate the adult crane fly, a key food source for fish, especially in late summer. With foam for buoyancy, hackle for movement, and rubber legs for added realism, this fly is perfect for when crane flies are hatching on rivers or lakes. It’s effective in both still and moving water, and its realistic action makes it a top choice for sight fishing to surface-feeding fish.
Pro Tip
Cast the fly to rising fish or areas with crane fly activity. Allow it to drift naturally, twitching occasionally to mimic the struggling insect. Use the fly in slack water or around submerged structures where crane flies may land.
