They fly was developed to imitate glass minnows (young of anchovies, genus Anchoa), a common forage for bonefish on the nearshore flats of south Florida and Caribbean islands.[1] The Crazy Charlie has become a staple fly for bonefish and permit anglers around the globe. OriginCharlie Smith was a renowned Bahamian bonefish guide operating Charlie's Haven resort on Behring Point, Andros Island in the early 1970s. The resort catered to celebrity and well heeled anglers seeking Bonefish on the flats of Andros, Island. Although stories vary as to the actual creation of the Crazy Charlie, credit is given to Bob Nauheim, founder of Fishing International, a global sport fishing travel agency based in Santa Rosa, California. Nauheim had fished with Charlie Smith on a number of occasions when during a 1977 trip, he crafted the first Crazy Charlie bonefish flies to imitate small glass minnows by adding bead chain eyes. The original patterns proved successful on Andros Island bonefish so Nauheim and Charlie Smith christened the original flies "Nasty Charlie's".[2] When Charlie Smith saw Nauheim's flies for the first time, he is said to have remarked: "dat fly is nasty mon", thus the original name. Other accounts credit Charlie Smith with the original creation which was then shared with Nauheim.[3] Nauheim took the pattern home to Santa Rosa and showed them to Leigh Perkins, the owner of Orvis outfitters. Perkins liked the pattern and added it to the Orvis catalog and began popularizing it for bonefish and permit. Perkins did not like the name "Nasty Charlie" so the name was changed to Crazy Charlie with Charlie Smith's permission. The pattern rapidly became one of the most popular flies for bonefish, permit and other saltwater flats species as well.[4] MaterialsThe classic Crazy Charlie is tied on a standard, short shank stainless steel saltwater fly hook in sizes eight through two. The TMC 811S saltwater hook is typical. The Crazy Charlie was the first bonefish fly to incorporate bead chain eyes for weight and allow the fly to ride hook point up. Lead or tungsten dumb bell eyes can be used for greater weight. The body consists of pearlescent flash overlaid with clear vinyl or monofilament ribbing. A wing of white calf tail is tied in at the hook eye and topped with a few strands of flash.[5] VariationsThe original Crazy Charlie quickly evolved into a generalized fly style and fly tiers created many variations using different materials for the body, wing and flash components as well as different color combinations. The Crazy Charlie fly style is easily adapted to shrimp and crab imitations. The wing can be crafted from buck tail, fur, feathers or synthetics. The body can be crafted with dubbing, chenille and varieties of synthetics including epoxies for durability. Tails using furs, feathers, buck tail or synthetics can be added. A version known as the "Blind Charlie" is tied without the bead chain eyes.[6] Gallery{{gallery|title=Crazy Charlies Variations |File:Crazy Charlie Bonefish Fly Variations 01.jpg|Chartreuse with buck tail wing |File:Crazy Charlie Bonefish Fly Variations 02.jpg|Pink and red with fur wing |File:Crazy Charlie Bonefish Fly Variations 03.jpg|Chartreuse with fur wing and tail |File:Crazy Charlie Bonefish Fly Variations 04.jpg|Brown and feather wing }} Notes1. ^{{cite book |title=The History of Fly-Fishing in Fifty Flies |author=Whitelaw, Ian |publisher=Abrams |location=New York |isbn=9781617691461 |year=2015 |pages=162-163}} {{angling topics|expanded=fly fishing}}{{fisheries and fishing}}2. ^{{cite book |author=Kreh, Lefty |title=My Life Was This Big: And Other True Fishing Tales |publisher=Skyhorse Publishing |year=2008 |isbn=1602393591 |page=86}} 3. ^{{cite web |title=The Story Behind the Crazy Charlie |author=Frazier, John |date=March 27, 2013 |url=http://www.saltwatersportsman.com/techniques/fly-tying/story-behind-crazy-charlie |publisher=Saltwatersportman.com |accessdate=January 1, 2017 }} 4. ^{{cite book |title=Snook on a Fly-Tackle, Tactics and Tips for catching the great saltwater gamefish |publisher=Stackpole Books |author=Zeigler, Norm |pages=60-61 |year=2007 |isbn=9780811702010 }} 5. ^{{cite web |url=http://flylifemagazine.com/fly-tying-don-reed-crazy-charlie-history-and-recipe/ |title=Fly Tying: Don Reed – Crazy Charlie history and recipe |author=Reed, Don |date=January 28, 2014 |accessdate=January 1, 2017 |publisher=flylifemagazine.com }} 6. ^{{cite book |last=Kreh |first=Lefty |title=Fly Fishing for Bonefish, Permit & Tarpon |year=1992 |publisher=Odysseus Editions |location=Birmingham, Alabama |page=66-68}} 1 : Saltwater patterns |
