“The Mr. Jones is the result of years of trying to come up with a pattern to match not only the profile of a large, skating adult cranefly, but to develop a fly that would skate and dance the way the naturals do.

Like so many good flies, this one combines parts from a couple previous patterns, notable my Lucky B and the infamous Screaming Banshee.

The result is a fly that not only looks good, but fishes even better. With a uniquely formed extended body that will fold up when a fish eats it and a forward facing moose hair wing, the Mr. Jones is honestly one of the most fun flies I have ever fished.

Skated down and across or even stripped like a streamer on top just straight off the bank, the visual follows and attacks this fly prompts are second to none.”
