It's Dirty. It's Sexy. It's Money for the Smallies!
Just a quick update from today as I'm headed to Idaho for 8 days to fish Henry's Fork. Just so much to do and so little time! GAH! So, I decided to go fishing to prepare myself for the fishing trip ahead. Sounds great! : )
I went to Bass Pro and met a guy named Quinn who tied an awesome looking fly. He had no name for it but I bought a few that he tied and replicated them. After today, for the amount of big smallies I caught, I dubbed it Dirty Sexy Money.
This is the pattern I tied. It's slightly different than the one he tied but nevertheless, worked amazingly.
Quick videos of the catches on this bad boy. A tutorial will come when I come back from Henry's Fork.
This last video isn't caught on the DSM. In fact, I snagged the smallie but its size blew me away for the river. Awesome catch!

The front is dirty, the middle is quite sexy, and that awesome hook that used to be red....well, that's the money right there! ; ) |

Krazy Kraw Fly Pattern
A few months ago, I attempted to tie the Barry's Carp Bitter pattern with very little success. However, what came about with this pattern I attempted to tie was something brand new. After a few minor tweaks here and there, the Krazy Kraw was born.
Above, you can see that I added more to the arsenal. I may add more colors than just olive, black, and white. I bet orange would be very effective as well. Note I did NOT use large bead chain eyes on the white minnow type pattern as it would give the minnow a larger eye look as it would look weird. I may try large bead chain eyes in the future but I didn't have any on hand. Still, they all look super cool.
Below, you can find how to tie Stone's Krazy Kraw. I hope you enjoy the video as much as I did making it. Tight lines!
Original Krazy Kraw on the left. Same pattern tied in black and then white. All very effective for bass and other predatory species. |
