if i could get some pics of a certain cricket for trout could or would anyone be willing to tie some up for me.i will pay for them

I suggest the Letort cricket... Or maybe a black Madame X. Don't have any pics

well my friend is needing some for a trip to colorado.but he only has one,so i told him i would see if i could get someone on here to make them for him.the one he has is black foam stacked together with a green belly with legs.i will try to get the one he has to take pics of it

i make a grasshopper for gills havent tryed a cricket ill post ya a pic later tonight

ok cool man

I tie flies and have tied a lot of grasshoppers but I would need an "offical" name or picture to identify exactly what he wants to duplicate. Let me know if I can help. Steve

Someone had a nice cricket pattern a little while ago. I wish I could help but anything I tied would be novice at best. Never been very good at cricket or hopper patterns with any realism.

"Electric Cricket- FAOL"

That is a nice pattern though. Is it anything close to what your friend has?

also look for the klod hopper on FAOL, its a fairly easy pattern to tie. i had tried the electric cricket once but could never get the tubing to shrink and bend in the right way. mudbug, try posting a picture of the fly on here if you can, im interested in what thick cricket pattern looks like.

he is going to bring it to work tommorrow so i will put a pic on this weekend thanks guys

well what he called a cricket turned out to be a ant.so i think im going to try and make it myself.just ordered the materials to do it
