Just to further fish tales where on the cast and when do you fish crunchers.Reason is I noted a cruncher on the point in a report and have never condidered a cruncher as a point fly.Always mo' fo'to learn as a charter boat captain would say.My best experience of crunchers has been as a part of a washing line with visibly moving fish.Strip,strip let them sit and they will swim of with it is what one Mr Barr told me and they did

I fish it on the point some times when they are in the upper column and I want a slower sink fly on the point ( more dressing).

I have occasionally fished a large #10 Cruncher on the point but have had more success fishing them in #12 or #14 on a 3 fly cast between a Booby or Damsel on the point and a Diawl Bach on the top dropper.

Mainly fish the Cruncher on the point especially the PRC variant.

Generally fish them on one of my droppers either washing line style or with a buzzer on the point. The hackle is great for slowing down the flies sink rate, really helps keep the flies out of the weed in the summer.
