Crab Flies
Crab flies aren’t just for Permit Fly Fishing anymore....Each year, more and more of our customers report success using crab flies from Merrimack River Flies. In the NorthEast, fly casters are discovering the satisfying and enjoyable challenges of fishing for striped bass on the saltwater flats. These crab patterns have been field tested by our own Pro-Staff and proven to be effective!
