Tommy's Floating Crab comes from the mind of Xcalak, Mexico fishing guide Tommy Batun. Floating crab flies for permit have caught on recently and are a thrill to fish when permit and other species chase swimming crabs higher up in the water column
Tommy is a deaf and mute fly-fishing guide from Xcalak, Mexico and the subject of The Silent Spotter, a new film featured in the 2025 International Fly Fishing Film Festival.
