Tying Canadian Fly Patterns: the Crosfield (by Bob Petti)

The Crosfield is very close to the Blue Charm in construction, though the images I've seen show it as a more robust looking fly. With the bigger wing, it would be a good fly for more turbulent flows.
This fly was taken from the book "A Compendium of Canadian Fly Patterns" by Robert H. Jones and Paul C. Marriner, Gale's End Press, Fly Fishing Canada Publications, 2006.

100% agree on French embossed! So, tough to tie! I'm glad that it's not only me:)

One salmon and the hook is toast ! If you had used zap-a-gap (super glue) it would last a few fish more without coming unraveled when you wrapped the embossed tinsel up the hook shank .It will also prevent it from unraveling.

I use CA glues, but don't like them. Half the time I end up stuck to the fly. Add to that, they don't hold up when drenched in water for any length of time. If we want to keep this sort of fly body together, then a light coating of UV glue will do the job.
