I beleive this fly was originated by Mike McClellan and Todd Moncrief from McFly Shop in Fayetteville. There is an article on their website but here is the recipe.

Crazy Dad

The Crazy Dad is our most popular (read: best-selling) smallmouth fly and one of the most requested patterns for impromptu tying tutorials at the shop, so it's only natural that it debuts what will hopefully be a regular series of online tutorials. What makes the Crazy Dad such a great fly? It's easy to tie for tyers and inexpensive for buyers. It sinks quickly but is easy to cast, and rides hook-up for no snags. It wiggles and breathes, comes in many different colors, and is very durable. And it catches fish!

Materials

Hook: TMC 200R #4-#8

Thread: 6/0 or 140d, color to match

Eyes/Weight: Brass Hourglass Eyes, med through x-small

Body: Sparkle Leech Dubbing or Wapsi Crawdub

Legs: Sili Legs

Wing: Bucktail, kiptail, or deer hair

Tools: The only uncommon tool used here is the Dyna-King Dubbing Whirl. You can get by without one, but your flies will not look as good nor fish as well, and the Crazy Dad will not be as easy to tie as advertised, which is one of its strong suits. A true rotary vise is also very helpful.
