[outdoorguy3]

Mr. phish splained to me how to use my camera and get better pics so here's some more....and I hope better pics of John Wilson's Trout Crack.

The recipe is as follows......Ingredients:
Hook:  Scud Hook....I used Tiemco 2488, John Wilson uses an upturned eye ( size 12-18)
Thread:  Mono
Weight:  .15 lead free...if used or bead head
Body:  Sow-Scud Dubbing (color to match natural)
Scud Back:  Vinyl Rib (aka V-Rib or D-Rib)
Ribbing:  Mono
Head: (Optional):  Gold Bead sized to hook.

Tying Directions:
1. De-barb hook
2. Wrap shank with weight (apply bead if your using one)secure with rearward thread wraps.
3. If not using lead or bead, start thread and wrap  to almost half way down the bend.
4.  Tie in D-rib
5. Apply dubbing to thread and wrap forward.
6. Pull D-rib forward on top of the hook shank and secure at eye with thread wrap.
7.  Segment body by wrapping mono thread back towards to tie in point and then tie off.
