Hi,

Pritt's Water Cricket is one of my favorite patterns. Most often I dress one of his (many) alternatives, with a yellow body and the black rib. It is one of my go to flies on one of the spring creeks I fish in New Zealand.

this is a fantastic Pritt pattern. Nice hook, and very nicely tied.

Absolutely wonderful. The tying is excellent.
