Les ties a “Stupid Crab”
Les describes his thoughts behind tying this simple pattern, as he ties it.

140 denier thread, tan
Bead chain eyes
Barred rubber or silicone legs

Les describes hook sharpening, and care
Les shows us how he sharpens his hooks before he ties the fly. Some of the better hooks on the market can rust as soon as you sharpen them. So he has this tip/trick that prevents this.

2018 Lydia Ann Fly Masters Tournament
From Steve E.
“I spent this last weekend working at a fly fishing retreat put on by Reel Recovery and Project Healing Waters for vets with cancer near San Antonio. I got to know some of the guys from the Alamo Fly Fishers club. Great bunch of guys. They have a fishing tournament that they are sponsoring down at Port Aransas on October 27. We need to add it to our website and promote it to our club for the saltwater fisherman looking for a late October outing. I attached the link. http://www.lydiaannflymasters.com. I’m also ccing Nick Scarpinato. He is the President of the Alamo Fly Fishers in case you want more info.
Cheers,
Steve”
