SHAFER'S GUMMY CRANE BROWN (TBH) SIZE 10

The Fulling Mill Shafer's Gummy Crane Brown (TBH) is one of the most realistic crane fly larva imitations available, designed by expert angler Joe Shafer to replicate the colour, translucency, and movement of natural crane fly larvae. Featuring a tungsten beadhead (TBH), this premium nymph reaches the riverbed quickly, allowing anglers to present the fly where feeding trout naturally search for large aquatic insects.

Unlike traditional crane fly patterns, the Gummy Crane incorporates a translucent outer body with a carefully concealed hotspot beneath, creating an incredibly lifelike appearance that encourages confident takes. This innovative design was developed after extensive observation of trout feeding on drifting crane fly larvae and has since earned a reputation as a reliable fish-catching pattern.

The weighted tungsten bead makes it an excellent choice for Euro nymphing, indicator fishing, tight-line techniques, and deep stillwater presentations. Whether fished as the point fly on a two-fly rig or beneath a larger attractor pattern, the Gummy Crane consistently produces results throughout the year, particularly during periods of higher flows when crane larvae become dislodged.

Hand-tied to Fulling Mill's renowned quality standards, this fly offers exceptional durability, realistic movement, and dependable performance, making it an essential addition to any trout angler's fly box.
