Crabbie Chan

One of the most popular classics saltwater-patterns is Del Brown’s Merkin Crab – an easy-to-tie and super- allround crab-pattern for saltwater species. Crab-patterns are an important type of flies to have in the box when searching the flats for bonefish, permits and other predators – but crab-patterns are also effective in cold water so give it a try on your local waters. In this video we have put Mathias “Krølle” ibsen behind the vice demonstrating his version of Merkin Crab called Crabbie Chan.
