Creator: Enrico Puglisi
< Back to All Flies

This is the Permit Crab pattern created by Enrico Puglisi, fly tying master. The fly is somewhat complex and does require a fair amount of time and skill. The result is a light weight crab pattern bursting with color and realism. Use this fly for Permit, Bonefish and even Redfish in larger sizes.
