Overview

The Umpqua Crittermite Kraft Fly in Black is a meticulously crafted pattern designed to imitate hellgrammites, the larval stage of the dobsonfly, which are a favored meal for many freshwater predators. Developed by renowned fly tyer Chuck Kraft, this fly has earned a reputation for its effectiveness in enticing smallmouth bass, trout, and even carp. Its realistic profile, combined with lifelike movement, makes it a must-have for anglers targeting fish in rivers and streams where hellgrammites are present.​

Constructed with lead eyes, the Crittermite sinks quickly to reach fish holding near the bottom. The addition of rubber legs enhances its lifelike appearance, creating subtle movements that trigger strikes from wary fish. Whether you're fishing fast-moving currents or deeper pools, the Crittermite's design ensures it gets down quickly and stays in the strike zone longer. Its durability means it can withstand multiple catches, making it a reliable choice for extended fishing sessions.Read More +
