Tying a Crazy Charlie Fishing Fly

The Crazy Charlie has been catching bonefish for decades, and there is no indication that this will stop. Perhaps this fly is the "Parachute Adams" or “Pheasant Tail” of the bonefish flies! This fly can be tied in numerous colors, including Gold, Orange, Pink, Tan, White, and Yellow/Chartreuse.
