Hopper legs elevate this flies' buggy profile, making it the perfect dry fly to generate some eats in the Victorian lakes this year.
The Black Gangly Cruncher is pattern developed to give slightly more profile in the water, allowing it to be fished at a faster pace than your average nymph. The extra legs on these crunchers also make it a very versatile nymph pattern, covering a wide range of fish food such as damsels, shrimps, olive nymphs, and hatching buzzer. This black version is best fished in slightly coloured water around the margins of a lake, and is extremely effective for both stockies and grown on fish. Fish this fly on a dropper on a floating line or midge tip with the washing line technique for best effect. The Jenkins' Black Gangly Cruncher is available in size 12 to help you best match the hatch.
