Description
The Crease Fly, created by angler and author Joe Blados in the 1980s. is a fantastic baitfish imitation that performs well in all types of water. It's highly effective for Speckled Trout, Jacks, Barracuda, Redfish, Stripers, and Ladyfish in saltwater, as well as Largemouth and Smallmouth Bass and trout in freshwater. This pattern is considered indispensable for coastal fishing, often ranking among the top 5 patterns for saltwater anglers.
Pro Tip
Fish the Crease Fly in calm, low-light conditions such as early morning or evening, when predatory fish are most active near the surface. Use a floating line and short, sharp strips to mimic the erratic darting of a fleeing baitfish. Pause intermittently to let the fly sit motionless, which often triggers strikes. For added versatility, tie the fly on intermediate or sinking lines to target fish feeding just below the surface.
