The Fleeing Crab is one of the most productive Permit flies that you can use in the Yucatan, but don't just fish it there, and don't just fish it for Permit. This fly will catch bonefish, snook, ...anything that likes crab, and who doesn't like crab?

This fly has heavily weighted dumbell eyes, and will sink quickly. A slow strip will catch permit, and a strip and pause will catch bonefish.

New production of this fly is being tied as follows:

  • #6 as stated above is tied on #6 Tiemco 811S

There's some debate surrounding the origins of this fly. Most seem to agree that Richard Whitner was involved in the early development of crab patterns using flex material. What isn't up for debate is that this crab pattern is a go-to fish slayer. The mesh flex material and internal dumbell eyes result in a fly that sinks rapidly and can be put right in front of feeding fish.
