Description
Dave's Cricket is a renowned terrestrial dry fly pattern created by legendary fly tyer Dave Whitlock. Designed to imitate the common field cricket, this pattern is particularly effective during late summer and early fall when crickets are abundant along riverbanks and often find their way into the water. Its realistic profile and buoyant construction make it a favorite among anglers targeting trout, bass, and panfish.
Curated by the IdentaFly fly fishing team.
Pro Tip
Focus on shaded areas during warm afternoons when terrestrials are most active.
