In keeping with the easy to tie terrestrial theme I started with my Beetle pattern a few posts back here's a Cricket I came up with many seasons ago. I ran across it this week while digging out my summer box. For as simple and unobtrusive as it is it's profile is realistic enough to fool plenty of fish. With a few minor modifications it can also be made into an adjustable strike indicator! I promise it will catch more fish than your Thingamabobber!
