6th Man
CK Boga Bugs
Topwater Kreelex
William developed the 6th Man in 2006 as a result of the need for a crayfish pattern to be seen in murky water while guiding the North Branch of the Potomac River. When you merge a Kreelex and Clawdad you get an amazing fly pattern. Proven for over a decade on Trout and Smallmouth Bass, anglers are now using it as a cross over pattern to catch Redfish. Many of Eastern Trophies largest trout and smallmouth have come to hand using the 6th Man.

If you like bug fishing for smallmouth bass, Chuck Kraft's Boga Bugs will make you fall in love with bug fishing. Made from cork, these flies are a little easier to cast and can really get the job done with late Summer low water levels. Use the Crittermite or Damsel tails to finish off the back.
