Umpqua Sandy's Cracked Crab #4 Moret's

Umpqua Fly Sandy’s Cracked Crab 4 Moret’s is a highly effective crab imitation for bonefish on shallow flats. Developed and proven around Islamorada in the Florida Keys, it has also produced strongly on Bahamian bonefish. The size and profile closely match natural crabs that selective fish feed on in clear water.

The fly is weighted "just enough" so it sinks naturally without crashing down, making it well suited for skinny water, tailing fish and wary bonefish. The soft landing allows you to place accurate presentations close to feeding fish without spooking them, while the weight still brings the fly down into the strike zone quickly.

This pattern is a solid choice for sight-fishing on tropical flats, whether you are wading or fishing from a skiff. Fish it with slow strips and pauses to imitate a fleeing or defensive crab. A reliable addition to any saltwater fly box targeting bonefish and similar flats species.
