Default cruncher

i made up this wee fly today and wasn't sure what to put it under , but it seems to have that cruncher look with a flash of mini lure due to the colors etc!!!

Very nice, I think the only thing I would change is the pink wire rib for silver as it looks a bit girly with that rib think the tail looks ok at that length and will give the fly that bit more of a kick.

I like it alot mate, if i was to change anything i would make the tail the same colour as the hackle but i think it will catch fish fine the way it is
Good effort

Thats a nice looking cruncher mate a fish catcher for sure.

My favourite cruncher is little fellow - nothing fancy but works well for me could be worth adding to your box.

i have done these in many different color combinations to see what works best next season ,,this is something i like to do and when i know certain ones catch fish quite regularly i add them to my seasonal list in different sizes.
