Notes:

The Curly Tail Critter Bug is an intriguing fly pattern designed by Chuck Kraft, a renowned fly fishing guide and fly designer. This fly combines the buggy profile of many Chuck Kraft patterns with the added tail movement that smallmouth and trout love.

Fish this fly in the riffles by swinging the Curly Tail Critter and then retrieving the fly back to you for deadly results. Also try casting the critter toward the bank and use aggressive strips working it away from the bank and hold on.
