Kraft’s Kreelex

Description

Chuck Kraft created the kreelex minnow specifically for targeting trout, but it has proved to be a deadly pattern for just about every gamefish on the planet including bass, redfish, and carp.  This fly is tied much like the clouser minnow, but with kreelex or kreinik flash instead of traditional bucktail.  If you aren’t familiar with kreelex, it has a metallic like finish that glows like a lantern underwater and has a little softer consistency than flashabou.  Kraft’s kreelex is a staple for us on the Missouri river, but we have also done extremely well on this pattern all across the state. If you are looking for the material to tie your own kreelex flies you can find it here.  Kraft’s kreelex is available in size 4.
