crappie candy Fly?

[drakewoodie]

I was recently looking through the forums and saw a picture of a fly that i believe was called "crappie candy" I just recently purchased a fly tying kit and would like to try some of these flies. If anyone could help me with this i would greatly appreciate this

Hi Drakewoodie & welcome along. That fly look's more than a trifle ambitious to start out on. Learn the principles if tying, handling materials etc before you even consider tying flies of that ilk.

Where are you based, if it's in the U.K. then if you're near one, join a branch of The FDG

If however, as I suspect you're from across the pond, then we still might be able to point you towards getting some "hands on" instruction, which is far better than trying to learn from books/videos etc.

Best of luck.
