Fly Tying with Hans Crazy Legged Gotcha
Hans from Dakota Angler & Outfitter ties a Rubber Legged Gotcha, a staple in many bonefish fly boxes, and also a great carp fly that I have used with great success in our streams and rivers for carp.
The Gotcha is one of the most effective bonefish fly patterns in the world. This version, with a crazy legs (aka sili legs, loco legs), was my top fly in my 2013 trip to the Bahamas.Materials
