Local Maine guide and fly tyer Ryan Brod is back with us this week to show us how to tie a simple Green Crab pattern. This pattern is one of many that imitate the invasive shore crabs that are abundant within the marshes and beaches of New England. The Merkin-style body gives this fly a nice, thick profile that will undoubtedly catch the attention of stripers cruising the flats. You can't chase stripers without a couple of these in your box!

We've put together a kit that contains all the materials you need to tie this exact fly pattern.
