The Ultimate Guide to the Crackleback
The Crackleback pattern has its roots in the Ozark region of Missouri, where it was initially designed by Ed Story, a prominent figure in Midwestern fly fishing circles. Story, a Missouri-based fly tier and founder of Feather-Craft Fly Fishing, was known for his contributions to fly design and his commitment to creating simple but effective patterns. He developed the Crackleback in the 1960s to mimic a wide range of insects, especially in trout streams around the Ozarks.
