I’ve been directed toward Larry Dahlberg’s Bonecrusher a few times. I watched it catch fish on one of Larry’s “Hunt for Big Fish” shows and have been thinking of that fly for a while.
I couldn’t find any videos of the Bonecrusher being tied, but I did find a message board with an email from Larry himself. Worth a look.

A couple of years now gone by and I thought I’d look up the fly again and here I find a link to my original inquiry. The internet can be a small world sometime. The video link by the way is truly awesome.
Ira..
It is a small world. Great fly.
Update, this pattern worked incredibly well in Ascension Bay. Fish truly do move for it.
