The Umpqua Fly Danger Muffin Crab McKnight Ghost is a highly imitative crab pattern developed for demanding permit fishing on the flats. Built around a rabbit and deer hair body, it offers a natural, mottled look that closely copies reef and sand crabs in shallow saltwater. The profile, weight and materials help the fly land softly, sink with a convincing attitude and move just enough when twitched or left to sit on the bottom.
The laser-cut claws add a very realistic silhouette and subtle movement, increasing confidence when targeting pressured fish in clear water. Tied on strong saltwater hooks, this pattern is suitable for permit but will also interest bonefish and other flats species that feed on crabs. Available in several proven colours and key sizes, it covers a wide range of bottom types, from bright turtle grass to mixed sand and coral.
