Cruncher Black and Red #12

The Black and Red Cruncher has been an extremely successful fly when fished on a floating fly line or midge tip washing line style. Tied with a soft hen hackle at the head to give a slightly pulsating effect when fished slow. Crunchers in general are a great pattern to use when nymphing, however they excel when fish are feeding high in the water to allow a slower descent, keeping your flies in the feeding zone for longer. Featuring a red holographic hot spot at the thorax for a trigger point that trout just love. The Jenkins' Black and Red Cruncher is available in both size 10 and size 12 to help you best match the hatch.
