Modified to imitate a small green crab or grass shrimp this pattern will work well for Belizean, Mexican and Honduran bonefish. Substitute beadchain or mono dumbbell eyes for the lead eyes when casting to bonefish in shallower water environments.

Materials
Hook: Daiichi 2456 - size 6
Thread: UTC Ultra 140 – light olive
Weight:  Double pupil lead eyes, extra small – yellow with white and black pupil
Flash: Krystal flash - rootbeer
Tail/Legs: Chicone’s barred micro crusher legs – olive/clear
Body: Estaz, small – pearl olive
Head: SLF saltwater dubbing blend – smokey olive
Adhesives: Zap-A-Gap Gel & Pieroway’s premium head cement

Step 1. Insert the hook in the vise. Attach the thread and wrap back two hook eye lengths.

Step 2a. Place a drop of Zap-A-Gap Gel on the thread wraps.

Step 2b. Figure eight wrap the lead eyes to the top of the hook (This fly rides hook point up).

Step 3. Tie in 4 strands of rootbeer krystal flash, on top of the hook, starting at a point directly behind the eyes and wrapping the thread over the flash to a point at the bend of the hook. Trim the fibers to the length of the hook shank.

Step 4a.Tie in one piece of barred micro leg directly on top of the krystal flash tail.

Step 4b. Trim the ‘leg’ so it extends slightly longer than the tail.

Step 5. Tie in a piece of Estaz at the point across from the hook barb. Wrap back over the Estaz to the bend in the hook.

Step 6. Palmer wrap the Estaz three times up the hook shank, tie of and trim away the excess. Note the Estaz only covers the back half of the hook shank.

Step 7a. Cut the remaining piece of barred micro leg in half. Tie in one of the barred micro leg pieces on the near-side of the hook shank, starting in the middle of the piece and wrapping backward to bind it down and create two legs.

Step 7b. Repeat this process on the far-side of the hook shank, again starting in the middle of the barred micro leg piece and wrapping backward to bind it down and create two more legs.

Step 8. Twist a rope of SLF saltwater dubbing onto the thread and proceed to wrap forward to the lead eyes resulting in a loose, thickly dubbed body along the length of the hook.

Step 9. Twist another rope of SLF saltwater dubbing onto the thread and proceed to figure-eight wrap around the lead eyes.

Step 10. Build up a small thread head in front of the lead eyes, whip finish and coat with premium head cement.

Step 11. Trim the legs so that each of the front legs is approximately a hook shank in length and the rear ‘leg’ extends slightly longer than the krystal flash tail.
