Fleeing Crab Tan & Orange #2 - New!

Originally designed for fly fishing The Seychelles, this crab has become a must-have fly for targeting saltwater species such as bonefish and permit worldwide. There are many shrimp patterns that have a bit of orange to indicate spawning, but this is a rare "spawning crab" pattern that will really get their attention!

A specialized pattern crafted to imitate the behavior of a crab scurrying along the ocean floor, a common prey for numerous saltwater species including bonefish, permit, and tarpon.

This fly typically features a realistic crab-like silhouette, tied with natural-colored materials to closely match the appearance of real crustaceans. The fly's design incorporates materials that provide both durability and lifelike movement in the water, ensuring it behaves convincingly when retrieved or allowed to drift with the current.

Anglers often employ the Fleeing Crab fly in shallow flats and coastal environments where crabs are abundant, presenting it with subtle strips or twitches to entice predatory fish into striking. Its effectiveness in mimicking one of the primary food sources for saltwater gamefish makes it a valuable addition to the fly boxes of anglers targeting these species in their natural habitats.
