The EP Tarpon Crab is an awesome fly to have in your arsenal. Its a floating crab that works great for tarpon but redfish love it too.
It is tied with traditional materials as well as lightweight EP fibers to create a light fly with lots of action that is easy to throw.
It does take some time to tie this one up but the results are worth it.
tying tip: Tan fur is tinted blue with sharpie, wait for it to dry before touching it.
