Crackleback

[pintsize]

:dunno

Apologies if this question has been asked on the forum previously , I couldn't find anything searching through the historical posts.

I am after tying pattern for a fly called the crackleback, I have been told it is very successful in the US.

Any website links that have a photo and tying instructions would be appreciated.
