Found a cool fly!

This was found between the cap and hull of my 94 Bentz-Craft. We found it with John Ulmer, who believes it’s a Mad Mike Benson fly…

Yeah, that looks like one I’ve heard of called the “Copperhead” or “Copper Crab” or something. I’m sure someone here will recognize it. I’m curious to know how it ended up there!

Not really sure. I know 10+ years of prior ownership of this one and none of them were fly-fishermen…there was also incredibly limited access to the area where I found it, I’m really amazed it even made it in there at all!

Yeah, thats one of mine… Copperhead Crab… Looks like the commercially tied ones… I find flies in all sorts of weird places around my house/car/boat… it’s amazing where they will end up.
